This two–stage class AB monolithic GaAs amplifier in a low–cost 16 lead plastic package is designed for output or driver applications in 1.9 GHz PCS handsets and basestations. The design is optimized for 3.0 Volt operation in systems such as Japan’s PHS, Europe’s DECT and the emerging North American PCS services. With modifications to the simple off–chip matching, the device can be used in other applications from 1.5 to 2.5 GHz.
