ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (continued)
( Typical Application Circuit , all RF inputs and outputs are referenced to 50Ω, V
DD
= +2.1V to +3.6V, T
A
= -40°C to +125°C, unless
otherwise noted. Typical values are at V
DD
= +2.7V, T
A
= +25°C, unless otherwise noted.) (Note 1)
Note 1: Supply current, output power, and efficiency are greatly dependent on board layout and PAOUT match.
Note 2: Production tested at T
A
= +25°C with f
RF
= 300MHz and 450MHz. Guaranteed by design and characterization over tem-
perature and frequency.
Note 3: 50% duty cycle at 10kbps with Manchester coding.
Note 4: Guaranteed by design and characterization, not production tested.
Note 5: PA output is turned on in test mode by V

= V
