LDMOS 3-stage integrated Doherty MMIC
The BLM9D3437-12AM is a 3-stage 12 W fully integrated Doherty MMIC solution using Ampleon's state of the art GEN9 LDMOS technology. The carrier and peaking device, input splitter and output combiner are integrated in a single package. This multiband device is perfectly suited as a device in the frequency range from 3400 MHz to 3700 MHz. Available in LGA outline.
Features and benefits
- Integrated input splitter
- Integrated output combiner
- Very high efficiency
- Designed for broadband operation (frequency 3400 MHz to 3700 MHz)
- Independent control of carrier and peaking bias
- Integrated ESD protection
- Excellent thermal stability
- High power gain, input and output matched to impedance 50 Ω
- For RoHS compliance see the product details on the Ampleon website
Applications
- RF power MMIC for multi-carrier and multi-standard GSM, W-CDMA, LTE and NR small cell base stations in the 3400 MHz to 3700 MHz frequency range
