SPA-1118
Product Description
Sirenza Microdevices’ SPA-1118 is a high efficiency GaAs
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) amplifier housed in
a low-cost surface-mountable plastic package. These HBT
amplifiers are fabricated using molecular beam epitaxial
growth technology which produces reliable and consistent
performance from wafer to wafer and lot to lot.
This product is specifically designed for use as a driver
amplifier for infrastructure equipment in the 850 MHz band.
Its high linearity makes it an ideal choice for wireless data and
digital applications.
The matte tin finish on Sirenza’s lead-free package utilizes a
post annealing process to mitigate tin whisker formation and
is RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2002/95. This package
is also manufactured with green molding compounds that
contain no antimony trioxide nor halogenated fire retardants.
