AWB7128P8 – ANADIGICS

The AWB7128P8, manufactured by ANAD, is a high-linearity, high-efficiency power amplifier integrated circuit designed for HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) applications operating within the 2.545 GHz to 2.69 GHz frequency band. This device is fabricated using a GaAs HBT process, enabling a typical power gain of 28 dB and an output power capability of up to 28 dBm while maintaining excellent adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR) performance. The AWB7128P8 incorporates internal matching networks optimized for the specified frequency range, simplifying integration into transceiver front-end modules. It operates from a single positive supply voltage, typically 5V, and features an integrated power-down mode to minimize current consumption during inactive periods. The device is packaged in a compact 14-pin surface-mount package (SMD), facilitating efficient PCB assembly and minimizing board space requirements.
