Product Description
The RF2320 is a general purpose, low-cost, high-linearity RF amplifier IC. The
device is manufactured on a Gallium Arsenide process and is featured in an SOP-
16 batwing package. It has been designed for use as an easily cascadable 75惟
gain block with a noise figure of less than 2dB. Gain flatness better than 0.5dB
from 5MHz to 1000MHz, and high linearity make this part ideal for cable TV appli-
cations. Other applications include IF and RF amplification in wireless voice and
data communication products operating in frequency bands up to 2500MHz. The
device is self-contained with 75惟 input and output impedances providing 2:1
VSWR matching. For higher input and output return losses, see the evaluation sche-
matic.
