Description
Avago Technologies’ ALM-32320 is a high linearity 2 Watt PA with good OIP3 performance and exceptionally good PAE at 1dB gain compression point, achieved through the use of Avago Technologies’ proprietary 0.25um GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process.
All matching components are fully integrated within the module and the 50Ω RF input and output pins are already internally AC-coupled.
This makes the ALM-32320 extremely easy to use as the only external parts are DC supply bypass capacitors.
The adjustable temperature-compensated internal bias circuit allows the device to be operated at either class A or class AB operation.
The ALM-32320 is housed inside a miniature 7.0 x 10.0 x 1.1 mm3 20-lead multiple-chips-onboard (MCOB) module package.
