SST12LP17E-QU8E

2.4 GHz High-Efficiency, High-Gain Power Amplifier Module SST12LP17E Data Sheet SST12LP17E is a 2.4 GHz high-efficiency, fully-matched power amplifier module based on the highly-reliable InGaP/GaAs HBT technology. It is designed in compliance with IEEE 802.11b/g/n applications and typically provides 28 dB gain with 28% power-added efficiency at 21dBm. SST12LP17E has excellent linearity, providing 3% EVM at typically 18 dBm, while meeting 802.11g spectrum mask at 21.5 dBm. This power amplifier requires no external RF matching, and only requires one external DC-bias capacitor to meet the specified performance. It offers high-speed power-up/-down control through a single reference voltage pin and includes a temperature-stable, VSWR insensitive power detector voltage output. SST12LP17E is offered in a super-thin (0.4mm maximum) 8-contact X2SON package and a 8-contact USON package. Features • Input/Output ports internally matched to 50 and DC decoupled • High gain: • Low shut-down current (~2 µA) • Stable performance over temperature – ~2 dB gain variation between -40°C to +85°C – ~1 dB power variation between -40°C to +85°C – Typically 28 dB gain across 2.4–2.5 GHz • Excellent on-chip power detection • High linear output power: – >24 dBm P1dB - Single-tone measurement.
