'
SZA-2044 is a high efficiency class
AB Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) amplifier
housed in a low-cost surface-mountable plastic package.
This HBT amplifier is made with InGaP on GaAs device
technology and fabricated with MOCVD for an ideal combi-
nation of low cost and high reliability.
This product is specifically designed as a final stage for
802.11b/g and 801.16 equipment in the 2.0-2.7 GHz bands.
It can run from a 3V to 5V supply. Optimized on-chip imped-
ance matching circuitry provides a 50 nominal RF input
impedance. The external output match and bias adjustabil-
ity allows load line optimization for other applications or
over narrower bands. It features an output power detector,
on/off power control and high RF overdrive robustness.

These are unused pins and not wired inside the package. They may be grounded or connected to adjacent
pins.

VPC1
VPC1 is the bias control pin for the stage 1 active bias circuit. An external series resistor is required for proper
setting of bias levels. Refer to the evaluation board schematic for resistor value. To prevent potential damage,
do not apply voltage to this pin that is +1V greater than voltage applied to pin 20 (Vbias) unless Vpc supply
current capability is less than 10 mA.
8
VPC2
VPC2 is the bias control pin for the stage 2 active bias circuit. An external series resistor is required for proper
setting of bias levels. Refer to the evaluation board schematic for resistor value. To prevent potential damage,
do not apply voltage to this pin that is +1V greater than voltage applied to pin 20 (Vbias) unless Vpc supply
current capability is less than 10 mA.

Vdet
Output power detector voltage. Load with > 10K ohms for best performance

RFIN
RF input pin. This is DC grounded internal to the IC. Do not apply voltage to this pin.
12,14
RFOUT
RF output pin. This is also another connection to the 2nd stage collector.
16
VC2
2nd stage collector bias pin. Apply 3.0 to 5.0V to this pin.
18
VC1
1st stage collector bias pin. Apply 3.0 to 5.0V to this pin.
20
Vbias
Active bias network VCC. Apply 3.0 to 5.0V to this pin.
EPAD
Gnd
Exposed area on the bottom side of the package needs to be soldered to the ground plane of the board for
optimum thermal and RF performance. Several vias should be located under the EPAD as shown in the rec-
ommended land pattern (page 5).
Caution: ESD Sensitive
Appropriate precaution in handling, packaging
and testing devices must be observed.
