Product Description
   The SPB-3018 is high-efficiency InGaP/GaAs Heterojuction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) amplifier RFIC. This amplifier incorporates an on-chip Class AB bias circuit which provides excellent efficiency while maintaining good linearity. The on-chip bias also allows the device output power (and current) to drive up towards saturation as the input power increases. The SPB-3018 is an ideal choice for multi-carrier as well as digital wireless telecom or general wireless applications in the 400-2500 MHz range. This amplifier is a robust, reliable, and rugged part with Class 1C HBM ESD rating, low operating junction temperature (Tj<125 ºC at 85 ºC lead), and excellent moisture resistance (MSL 1).
