1. Product profile
1.1 General description
The BLM9D2327-25B is a 2-stage fully integrated Doherty MMIC solution using
Ampleon's state of the art GEN9 LDMOS technology. The carrier and peaking device,
input splitter and output combiner are integrated in a single package. This multiband
device is perfectly suited as general purpose driver or small cell final in the frequency
range from 2300 MHz to 2700 MHz. Available in PQFN outline.
