PRODUCT SUMMARY
SKY65152-11: 2.4-2.5 GHz WLAN Power Amplifier
Applications
Description
IEEE 802.11 b/g WLANs
ISM band transmitters
WCS fixed wireless
Wireless access nodes
The SKY65152-11 is a Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit
(MMIC) Power Amplifier (PA) with superior output power, linearity,
and efficiency. These features make the SKY65152-11 ideal for
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) applications. The high
linearity (low EVM) and high efficiency of this device makes it
ideal for use in the transmit chain of WLAN access points or
modems.
Features
The SKY65152-11 is fabricated using Skyworks high reliability
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) InGaP process, which
allows for single supply operation while maintaining high
efficiency and good linearity. The device is internally matched and
mounted in a 20-pin, 6 x 6 mm Multi-Chip Module (MCM)
Surface-Mounted Technology (SMT) package, which allows for a
highly manufacturable low cost solution.
EVM < 2.5% for POUT > +27 dBm
High gain = 32 dB
Internal RF match with DC block and active bias circuits
Internal on/off control circuit
Internal, high dynamic range power detector
Single DC supply = +5 V
Operating temperature = –40 °C to +85 °C
A functional block diagram is shown in Figure 1. The pin
configuration and package are shown in Figure 2.
