RF3166D
DUAL-BAND GSM900/DCS
POWER AMP MODULE
The RF3166 is a high-power, high-efficiency power amplifier module with integrated
power control that provides over 50dB of control range. The device is a self-con-
tained 6mmx6mm module with 50
Ω input and output terminals. The device is
designed for use as the final RF amplifier in EGSM900 and DCS handheld digital
cellular equipment and other applications in the 880MHz to 915MHz and
1710MHz to 1785MHz bands. The RF3166 incorporates RFMD’s latest VBATT track-
ing circuit, which monitors battery voltage and prevents the power control loop from
reaching saturation. The VBATT tracking circuit eliminates the need to monitor bat-
tery voltage, thereby minimizing switching transients. The RF3166 requires no
external routing or external components, simplifying layout and reducing board
space.
