Maxim的RF功率放大器即可应用于线性调制，如QAM和QPSK，也可用于非线性调制，如：FM、FSK等。针对TDMA市场设计的PA在性能上有所改进，如：自动斜率控制可减小频谱扩散，自动斜率控制有助于保持Vcc的稳定、降低VCO牵引。自动热保护功能能够根据需要临时减小输出功率，提供一个坚固、耐用的PA。针对CDMA市场推出的PA能够在城市或远郊CDMA环境下、对于大多数便携终端要求的输出功率电平提供更低的电源电流，CDMA PA在大多数时间工作在较低的输出功率状态。

对于2.4GHz ISM应用，如：802.11b WLAN、Bluetooth、HomeRF及无绳电话，Maxim可提供低成本、超小尺寸(如UCSP封装)的功率放大器，这些PA具有模拟或数字的功率控制、闭环功率控制、动态偏置控制、集成检测器等，并具有较高的效率。

以下列出了采用硅双极型工艺设计的RF功率放大器关键特性：

低成本，这一点得益于它较高的管芯产量和简单的器件制作工艺(与超外差器件相比)
小尺寸，采用UCSP封装和较少的外部元件
无需负偏置电源，不同于大多数GaAs放大器
在全温范围和负载变化范围内提供稳定的器件特性
自动斜率控制
下表列出了我们的一些功率放大器及其性能，注意，有几款PA需要在指定的性能参数和中心频点进行重新调谐，与表中参数有差异。
