Product Description
The RF3377 is a general purpose, low-cost RF amplifier IC. The device is manufactured on an advanced Gallium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process, and has been designed for use as an easily-cascadable 50 gain block. Applications include IF and RF amplification in wireless voice and data communication products operating in frequency bands up to 6000MHz. The device is self-contained with 50 input and output impedances and requires only two external DCbiasing elements to operate as specified.

Device Operating Voltage Operating Current
Note 1: All specification and characterization data has been gathered on standard FR-4 evaluation boards. These evaluation boards are not optimized for frequencies above 2.5GHz. Performance above 2.5GHz may improve if a high performance PCB is used. Note 2: The RF3377 must be operated at or below 60mA in order to achieve the thermal performance stated above. Operating at 40mA will ensure the best possible combination of reliability and electrical performance. Note 3: Because of process variations from part to part, the current resulting from a fixed bias voltage will vary. As a result, caution should be used in designing fixed voltage bias circuits to ensure the worst case bias current does not exceed 60mA over all intended operating conditions.

Pin 1 Function RF IN Description
RF input pin. This pin is NOT internally DC blocked. A DC blocking capacitor, suitable for the frequency of operation, should be used in most applications. DC coupling of the input is not allowed, because this will override the internal feedback loop and cause temperature instability. Ground connection. RF output and bias pin. Biasing is accomplished with an external series resistor and choke inductor to VCC. The resistor is selected to set the DC current into this pin to a desired level. The resistor value is determined by the following equation:
Interface Schematic
2 3
GND RF OUT
( V SUPPLY - V DEVICE ) R = -----------------------------------------------------I CC
Care should also be taken in the resistor selection to ensure that the current into the part never exceeds 60mA over the planned operating temperature. This means that a resistor between the supply and this pin is always required, even if a supply near 3.6V is available, to provide DC feedback to prevent thermal runaway. Because DC is present on this pin, a DC blocking capacitor, suitable for the frequency of operation, should be used in most applications. The supply side of the bias network should also be well bypassed. Ground connection.
