Product Description
The RF5163 is a linear, medium-power, high-efficiency amplifier IC designed specif-
ically for low voltage operation. The device is manufactured on an advanced Gal-
lium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process, and has been
designed for use as the final RF amplifier in 802.11b/g/n access point transmit-
ters. The device is provided in a 4mmx4mm, 16-pin, leadless chip carrier with a
backside ground. The RF5163 is designed to maintain linearity over a wide range of
supply voltage and power output.
