Power Gain — 30 dB
Power Added Efficiency — 48%
GSM EDGE Application
• Typical GSM EDGE Performance: VDD = 28 Volts, IDQ1 = 215 mA, IDQ2 =
800 mA, Pout = 40 Watts Avg., 1805 - 1880 MHz or 1930 - 1990 MHz
Power Gain — 31 dB
Power Added Efficiency — 35%
Spectral Regrowth @ 400 kHz Offset = - 63 dBc
Spectral Regrowth @ 600 kHz Offset = - 80 dBc
EVM — 1.5% rms
• Capable of Handling 5:1 VSWR, @ 28 Vdc, 1990 MHz, 100 Watts CW
Output Power
• Stable into a 5:1 VSWR. All Spurs Below - 60 dBc @ 1 mW to 120 Watts
CW Pout.

rating will be added to the Maximum Ratings table when parts’ Operating Junction Temperature is
increased to 225°C.
2
Apr. 2008
• Operating Junction Temperature increased from 200°C to 225°C in Maximum Ratings table, related
“Continuous use at maximum temperature will affect MTTF” footnote added and changed 200°C to 225°C
in Capable Plastic Package bullet, p. 1, 2
• Added Case Operating Temperature limit to the Maximum Ratings table and set limit to 150°C, p. 2
• Updated PCB information to show more specific material details, Figs. 3, 27, Test Circuit Schematic, p. 4,
14
• Updated Part Numbers in Tables 6, 8, Component Designations and Values, to RoHS compliant part
numbers, p. 4, 14
• Replaced Case Outline 1617 - 01 with 1617 - 02, Issue A, p. 22 - 24. Revised cross - hatched area for
exposed heat spreader. Added pin numbers 1, 12, 13, and 14 to Sheets 1 and 2. Corrected mm Min and
Max values for dimension A1 to 0.99 and 1.09, respectively.
• Replaced Case Outline 1618 - 01 with 1618 - 02, Issue A, p. 25 - 27. Added pin numbers 1, 12, 13, and 14
and Pin 1 Index designation to Sheet 1. Corrected dimensions e and e1 on Sheet 1. Removed Pin 5
designation from Sheet 2.
• Replaced Case Outline 1621 - 01 with 1621 - 02, Issue A, p. 28 - 30. Added pin numbers 1, 12, 13, and 14
and Pin 1 Index designation to Sheet 1. Corrected dimensions e and e1 on Sheets 1 and 3. Removed Pin 5
designation from Sheet 2.
3
Mar. 2009
• Changed Storage Temperature Range in Max Ratings table from - 65 to +200 to - 65 to +150 for
standardization across products, p. 2.
• Updated Human Body Model ESD from Class 0 to 1 to reflect 2008 Human Body Model actual test data,
p. 2
• Added footnote, Measurement made with device in straight lead configuration before any lead forming
operation is applied, to Functional Tests table, p. 2.
