TQ9142B
Product Description
The TQ9142B is a highly efficient 3-stage power amplifier developed for handsets
and portable terminals operating in the AMPS cellular band (824 to 849 MHz). The
part is designed to require minimal external circuitry for matching or bias, simplifying
design and keeping board space and cost to a minimum. Access to each stage鈥檚
gate and drain voltages is provided for maximum flexibility in selection of output
power control method, making output power vs. efficiency tradeoffs, or for
implementing alternative biasing schemes. The amplifier is packaged in a SOIC-16
plastic package with specially modified central thermal tabs. These tabs provide
reliable operation for the 1.4 Watt power output.
