DESCRIPTION
The EMC21L1004GN is a high-gain and wide-band 2-stage HIC
amplifier module with 50V operation.
This module is targeted for high voltage, low current operation in digitally
modulated base station. This product is ideally suited not only for W-
CDMA base station amplifiers but also other HPA while offering ease for
use.
