Product Description
BeRex’s BT331 is a high power and a high
dynamic range amplifier in a low cost sur-
face mount package(SOIC-8) with a RoHS-
compliant, that incorporates reliable het-
erojunction-bipolar-transistor (HBT) de-
vices fabricated with InGaP GaAs technol-
ogy.
This device is designed for use where high
linearity is required and features high OIP3
and Power with low consumption current
(400mA) and requires a few external
matching components such as a DC block-
ing capacitors on the In/Output pin, a by-
pass capacitor and a RF choke for the out
port.
