Preliminary
Product Description
SZM-3166Z
Sirenza Microdevices’ SZM-3166Z 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.
3.3-3.6GHz 2W Power Amplifier
RoHS Compliant
Pb
& Green Package
This product is specifically designed for 802.16 customer
premise equipment (CPE) terminals in the 3.3-3.6 GHz bands.
It can run from a 3V to 5.2V supply. The external output match
and bias adjustability allows load line optimization for other
applications covering 3.5-3.8GHz. It features an output power
detector, on/off power control and high RF overdrive robust-
ness. A 20dB step attenuator feature can be utilized by swtich-
ing 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.
6mm x 6mm QFN Package
