Product Description
The RF6263 is a high-power, high-efficiency linear amplifier module specifically designed for 3V handheld systems. The device is manufactured on an advanced third generation GaAs HBT process, and was designed for use as the final RF amplifier in 3V IS-95/CDMA2000-1X/ AMPS handheld digital cellular equipment, spread-spectrum systems, and other applications in the 824MHz to 849MHz band. The RF6263 has a digital control pin which when enabled will allow the amplifier to operate up to 19dBm output power with reduced current consumption. The low power mode current consumption can be reduced by more than 50% that of a standard power amplifier. The RF6263 is assembled in a 16-pin, 3mmx3mm, QFN package.
