EDS-104611 Rev C

Preliminary

Sirenza Microdevices’ SZP-2026Z is a high linearity single

stage class AB Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT)

amplifier housed in a proprietary surface-mountable plastic

encapsulated package. This HBT amplifier is made with

InGaP on GaAs device technology and fabricated with

MOCVD for an ideal combination of low cost and high reli-

ability.

This product is specifically designed as a flexible final or

driver stage for 802.16 and 802.11 equipment in the 2.2-

2.7GHz bands. It can run from a 3V to 6V supply. It is pre-

matched to ~5 ohms on the input for broadband perfor-

mance and ease of matching at the board level. It features

an output power detector, on/off power control, ESD protec-

tion, excellent overall robustness and a proprietary hand

reworkable and thermally enhanced SOF-26 package. This

product features a RoHS Compliant and Green package

with matte tin finish, designated by the ‘Z’ suffix.
