XD010-14S-D4F Datasheet, PDF (1/5 Pages) SIRENZA MICRODEVICES – 925-960 MHz Class A/AB 15W Power Amplifier Module

Product Description
Sirenza Microdevices’ XD010-14S-D4F 15W power module is a robust 2-
stage Class A/AB amplifier module for use in GSM and EDGE RF applica-
tions. This module is optimized to minimize the EVM at typical operating
levels. The power transistors are fabricated using Sirenza's latest, high
performance LDMOS process. This unit operates from a single voltage
supply and has internal temperature compensation of the bias voltage to
ensure stable performance over the full temperature range. It is a drop-in,
no-tune solution for medium power applications requiring high efficiency,
excellent linearity, and unit-to-unit repeatability. It is internally matched to
50 ohms.
