DESCRIPTION

The TC3141 is a 2 stage PHEMT MMIC power amplifier. It is designed for use in low cost and high volume 2.4-2.5 GHz ISM band applications. The MMIC provides a typical gain of 29 dB and saturation power of more than 33 dBm. Typical bias condition is 7V at 800 mA. The MMIC is a packaged in a standard SO-8 power package. The copper based carrier of the package allows direct soldering of the device to the PCB for proper heat sinking. The input and output matching of the MMIC require external components.
