DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS
DEMO BOARD SIZE: 1 x 2 in. (2.54 x 5.08 cm.)
CONNECTORIZED VERSION SHOWN
The FRD3500X230 is a 2-stage, connectorized Reference Design that delivers a typical linear power
of 30 dBm with the 802.16-2004 modulation, while maintaining less than 2.5% EVM. The design
features a FPD4000AS driver stage, followed by a FPD10000AF power output stage. Both stages
are dual-biased to allow a range of bias conditions on each stage, allowing operation from Class B to
Class A. Board layout and components list are included.

Notes:
•
Operating conditions that exceed the Absolute Maximum Ratings could result in permanent damage to the devices.
•
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
To avoid damage to the devices care should be exercised during handling. Proper Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) precautions should be observed at all stages of storage, handling, assembly, and
testing. This product has be tested to Class 1A (> 250V but < 500V) using JESD22 A114, Human
Body Model, and to Class A, (< 200V) using JESD22 A115, Machine Model..
APPLICATIONS NOTES & DESIGN DATA
Recommendations on matching circuits is available from your local Filtronic Sales Representative or
directly from the factory.
User must ensure that proper bias sequencing is observed: Gate bias
must be applied before Drain bias, and during power-down the Drain bias must be removed
first.
