Product Description
The RF2163 is a linear, medium power, high efficiency amplifier IC designed specif-
ically for low voltage operation. The device is manufactured on an advanced Gal-
lium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process, and has been
designed for use as the final RF amplifier in 2.5GHz spread-spectrum transmitters.
The device is provided in a 16-pin leadless chip carrier with a backside ground and
is self-contained with the exception of the output matching network and power sup-
ply feed line.
