DESCRIPTION
KEY FEATURES Advanced InGaP HBT 2.4 – 2.5GHz Operation Single-Polarity 3.3V Supply Low Quiescent Current Icq ~65mA Power Gain ~20dB @ 2.45GHz and Pout = 19dBm Total Current 125mA for Pout = 19dBm @ 2.45GHz OFDM EVM ~ 3.0% for 64QAM / 54Mbps and Pout = 19dBm Small Footprint (3 x 3 mm2) Low Profile (0.9mm)
APPLICATIONS
The LX5510 is a power amplifier optimized for WLAN applications in the 2.4-2.5 GHz frequency range. The PA is implemented as a two-stage monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) with active bias and input/output pre-matching. The device is manufactured with an InGaP/GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) IC process (MOCVD). With single low voltage supply of 3.3V 20 dB power gain between 2.4-2.5GHz, at a low quiescent current of 65mA.
For +19dBm OFDM output power (64QAM, 54Mbps), the PA provides a low EVM (Error-Vector Magnitude) of 3.0%, and consumes 125 mA total DC current with the nominal 3.3V bias. With increased bias of 5 V EVM is ~ 4% at 23 dBm. The LX5510 is available in a 16-pin 3mmx3mm micro-lead quad package (MLPQ). The compact footprint, low profile, and excellent thermal capability of the MLPQ package makes the LX5510 an ideal solution for mediumgain power amplifier requirements for IEEE 802.11b/g applications

FUNCTIONAL PIN DESCRIPTION Name RF IN VB1 VB2 VCC RF OUT VC1 VC2 GND Description RF input. This pin is DC-shorted to GND but AC-coupled to the transistor base of the first stage. Bias current control voltage for the first stage. Bias current control voltage for the second stage. The VB2 pin can be connected with the first stage control voltage (VB1) into a single reference voltage (referred to as Vref) through an external resistor bridge. Supply voltage for the bias reference and control circuits. This pin can be combined with both VC1 and VC2 pins, resulting in a single supply voltage (referred to as Vc). RF output. Power supply for first stage amplifier. The VC1 feedline should be terminated with a 3.3 pF bypass capacitor, followed by a 8.2 nH blocking inductor at the supply side. Power supply for second stage amplifier. The VC2 feedline should be driven with a 8.2 nH AC blocking inductor and 1 uF bypass capacitor. The center metal base of the MLP package provides both DC and RF ground as well as heat sink for the power amplifier.
