Product Description
The RF2196 is a high-power, high-efficiency linear amplifier IC targeting
3V handheld systems. The device is manufactured on an advanced Gal-
lium Arsenide process, and has been designed for use as the final RF
amplifier in 3V CDMA and CDMA2000 handsets as well as other applica-
tions in the 1750MHz to 1910MHz band. The RF2196 has a low power
mode to extend battery life under low output power conditions. The pack-
age is an ultra small 4mmx4mm, 16-pin QFN plastic package with back-
side ground.
