RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin as Fairchild Semiconductor or its successor entities like ON Semiconductor due to corporate acquisitions. Confirm the specific package variant matches the 11-LCC specification. Check RoHS compliance status against current environmental regulations. Ensure the component is sourced from authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit parts. Validate the datasheet version corresponds to the exact part number suffix.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring stable amplification in the 824-849MHz band. Consider the 62mA supply current for power budget calculations. Evaluate the thermal performance requirements given the high-power classification. Ensure the system design supports the 11-LCC footprint. Compare gain specifications against alternative models if wider bandwidth is needed.
