RF7303

3V LTE/UMTS/CDMA BAND 3

LINEAR PA MODULE

The RF7303 is a high-power, high-efficiency linear power amplifier

designed for use as final amplification stage in a 3V, 50

 LTE/UMTS/

CDMA mobile cellular equipment. This PA is developed for the E-

UTRAN/LTE Bands within the 1710MHz to 1785MHz and along with CDMA

Band 15 (BC15) that operates within the 1710MHz to 1755MHz frequency

band. The RF7303 has two digital control pins to select one of three

power bias states to optimize performance and current drain at lower

power levels. The part also has an integrated directional coupler which

eliminates the need for an external discrete coupler at the output. The

RF7303 meets spectral linearity requirements for CDMA, HSDPA, HSUPA,

and fully capable of LTE data transmission. The RF7303 part assembled

in a 10-pin, 3mm x 3mm module.
