ALM-42316
(3.3 – 5)V Linear Wireless Data Power Amplifier
for (3.3 - 3.8)GHz Operation
Data Sheet
Description
Avago Technologies’ ALM-42316 is a fully-matched Power
amplifier module for use in the (3.3-3.8)GHz band. High
linear output power at 3.3V is achieved through the use of
Avago Technologies’ proprietary 0.25um GaAs Enhance-
ment-mode pHEMT process. It is housed in a miniature 5.0
x 5.0 x 1.1mm MCOB module. It includes shutdown and
switchable gain functions. A detector is also included on-
chip. The compact footprint and low profile coupled with
high gain and high efficiency make the ALM-42316 an
ideal choice as a power amplifier for IEEE 802.16 (Wimax)
and WLL applications.
Applications
• High linearity amplifier for IEEE 802.16 mobile and fixed
terminal amplifier
• WLL amplifier

Notes:
1. Enhancement mode technology employs positive Vgs, thereby
eliminating the need of negative gate voltage associated with
conventional depletion mode devices.
Attention: Observe precautions for
handling electrostatic sensitive devices.
