Note 1: This is the recommended operating frequency range. Operation outside this frequency range is possible but has not been
characterized. The device is characterized and tested at 3550MHz. For optimum performance at a given frequency, the out-
put matching network must be properly designed. See Applications Information section.
Note 2: Specifications are corrected for board losses (0.25dB at input, 0.25dB at output).
Note 3: Guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 4: Input IP3 measured with two tones, f
1
= 3550MHz and f
2
= 3551MHz, at -20dBm per tone.
Note 5: Input IP3 measured with two tones, f
1
= 3550MHz and f
2
= 3551MHz, at -12dBm per tone.
Note 6: Specifications are corrected for board losses (0.25dB at input).
Note 7: Time from when GAIN changes state to when output power reaches 1dB of its final value.
Note 8: Time from when SHDN changes state to when output power reaches 1dB of its final value.
