RFMD’s SZM-3066Z is a high linearity class AB Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) ampli-
fier housed in a low-cost surface-mountable plastic Q-FlexN multi-chip module package. This
HBT amplifier is made with InGaP on GaAs device technology and fabricated with MOCVD for an
ideal combination of low cost and high reliability. This product is specifically designed as a final
or driver stage for 802.16 equipment in the 3.3GHz to 3.8GHz bands. It can run from a 3V to
6V supply. The external output match and bias adjustability allows load line optimization for
other applications or over narrower bands. It features an output power detector, on/off power
control and high RF overdrive robustness. A 20dB step attenuator feature can be utilized by
switching the second stage Power up/down control. This product features a RoHS compliant
and Green package with matte tin finish, designated by the ‘Z’ suffix.
