The RF2333 is a general purpose, low-cost RF amplifier
IC. The device is manufactured on an advanced Gallium
Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) pro-
cess, and has been designed for use as an easily-cas-
cadable 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 DC biasing
elements to operate as specified. The RF2333 is avail-
able in a very small industry-standard SOT23 5-lead sur-
face mount package, enabling compact designs which
conserve board space.
