RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation carefully during procurement. The part number UPC2776TB-E3-A includes an additional suffix compared to the standard UPC2776TB-E3. Confirm that the '-A' variant matches the required specifications and documentation before ordering, as distributor listings may primarily reference the base model without explicitly detailing the functional differences or availability of the '-A' version.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits operating between 2.3 GHz and 2.7 GHz that require a balance of gain and noise performance. Ensure the design accommodates the 2.7 V to 3.3 V supply range and the thermal dissipation requirements associated with the SOT-363 package. Consider the 45 mA quiescent current draw when calculating total system power budget for battery-operated devices.
