Preliminary
Product Description
SZM-3066Z
Sirenza Microdevices’ SZM-3066Z is a high linearity class AB
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) amplifier 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.
3.3-3.8GHz 2W Power Amplifier
RoHS Compliant
Pb
& Green Package
This product is specifically designed as a final or driver stage
for 802.16 equipment in the 3.3-3.8 GHz bands. It can run from
a 3V to 6V supply. The external output match and bias adjust-
ability 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. This prod-
uct features a RoHS compliant and Green package with matte
tin finish, designated by the ‘Z’ suffix.
