Description
The AP132-317 is a high performance IC power amplifier
designed for use as the final amplification stage in GSM or
GPRS mobile phones, and other digital wireless
applications in the 1700–2000 MHz band. It features
3-cell battery operation, integrated analog power control
with over 70 dB of dynamic range, and exceptional power
added efficiency over the full battery voltage range. The
amplifier is manufactured on an advanced InGaP HBT
process, known industry-wide for its e xcellent reliability and
performance.The AP132-317 is designed to be stable o ver
a wide temperature range of -40 to +85°C and over a
10:1 output VSWR load. Output matching is provided
externally to maximize perf ormance, reduce costs, and allow
optimal matching for output power and efficiency over a
broader frequency range. A dual- and/or tr i-band solution
can be obtained by combining the AP132-317 with
Alpha’s AP131-317. The AP132-317 is packaged in a
thermally enhanced, ultra small micro leadframe package.
