Product Description
The RF3300-3 is a high-power, high-efficiency linear
amplifier IC targeting 3V handheld systems. The device is
manufactured on an advanced Gallium Arsenide Hetero-
junction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process, and has been
designed for use as the final RF amplifier in dual-mode
3V CDMA handheld digital cellular equipment, spread-
spectrum systems, and other applications in the
1850MHz to 1910MHz band. The RF3300-3 has a digital
control line for low power application to reduce the current
drain. The device is self-contained with 50Ω input and
output that is matched to obtain optimum power, effi-
ciency, and linearity characteristics. This amplifier con-
tains a temperature compensating bias circuit for
improved performance over temperature.

Description
Bias circuit and HDET power supply. A low frequency decoupling
capacitor (2.2µF) is required. Type: P
Ground connection. Connect to the GND_SLUG pin. For best perfor-
mance, keep traces physically short and connect immediately to
ground plane. Type: P
Ground connection. Connect to the GND_SLUG pin. For best perfor-
mance, keep traces physically short and connect immediately to
ground plane. Type: P
RF input internally matched to 50Ω. This input is internally AC-coupled
at the IC; however a shunt inductor used in the input matching network
will provide a DC path to ground for components connected to the RF
IN pin. A DC blocking capacitor may be required at this pin. Type: A, I

Gain step control. When this pin is High, the module is in low power
mode, and the amplifier’s current is reduced. When this pin is Low, the
module is in high power mode. Voltage should not be applied to this pin
before VCC3 is applied. Type: D, I
Device enable control. When this pin is High, the device is on. When
this pin is Low, the device is off. Voltage should not be applied to this
pin before VCC3 is applied. Type: D, I
Ground connection. The backside of the package should be soldered to
a top side ground pad which is connected to the ground plane with mul-
tiple vias. The pad should have a short thermal path to the ground
plane. Type: P
