Product Description
The RF7180 is a quad-band (GSM850/EGSM900/DCS1800/PCS1900) GSM/GPRS Class 12
compliant transmit module with two symmetrical receive ports. This transmit module builds
upon RFMD’s leading power amplifier with PowerStar® integrated power control technology,
pHEMT switch technology, and integrated transmit filtering for best-in-class harmonic performance. The results are high performance, a reduced solution size, and ease of implementation.
The device is designed for use as the final portion of the transmitter section in a
GSM850/EGSM900/DCS1800/PCS1900 handset and eliminates the need for PA-to-antenna
switch module matching network. The device provides 50 matched input and output ports
requiring no external matching components.
The RF7180 features RFMD’s latest integrated power-flattening circuit, which significantly
reduces current and power variation into load mismatch. Additionally, a VBATT tracking feature is
incorporated to maintain switching performance as supply voltage decreases. The RF7180 also
integrates an ESD filter to provide excellent ESD protection at the antenna port.
