RFCM3316
RFCM3316 Current Adjustment
The RFCM3316 can be operated over a wide range of current to provide maximum required performance with
minimum current consumption. Changing the value of resistor R3 on application circuit allows a variation of the current
between 430mA and 330mA (typ.). Within the recommended range of current between 430mA and 370mA gain (S21)
change is less than 0.2dB and noise figure change is less than 0.1dB.

RFCM3316
RFCM3316 Temperature Sensing Feature
The RFCM3316 provides an internal NTC resistor for temperature sensing. This resistor is located right next to the
output transistor stage. Within the application circuit the NTC is built in a voltage divider. The output voltage of the
voltage divider (Vt) can be correlated to the module backside temperature.
