SST12LP18E

2.4 GHz High-Power, High-Gain Power Amplifier A Microchip Technology Company SST12LP18E Product Brief The SST12LP18E is a versatile power amplifier based on the highly-reliable InGaP/ GaAs HBT technology. The SST12LP18E is a 2.4 GHz high-efficiency Power Amplifier designed in compliance with IEEE 802.11b/g/n applications. It typically provides 25 dB gain with 32% power-added efficiency. The SST12LP18E has excellent linearity while meeting 802.11g spectrum mask at 21.5 dBm. The SST12LP18E is ideal for embedded applications because it provides linear power evan at low-battery voltages. With a reference voltage as low as 2.7V, the SST12LP18E will operate from -20°C to +85°C and is offered in a 8-contact XSON package. Features • High gain: – Typically 25 dB gain across 2.4~2.5 GHz – Low battery voltage operation: VREF as low as 2.7V. Block Diagram VCC1 VCC2 • High linear output power (at 3.3V): – >26 dBm P1dB – ~2.5% added EVM up to 18 dBm for 54 Mbps 802.11g signal – Meets 802.11g OFDM ACPR requirement up to 21.5 dBm – Meets 802.11b ACPR requirement up to 22.5 dBm RFIN RFOUT • High power-added efficiency/Low operating current for both 802.11b/g/n applications – ~32% @ POUT = 21.5 dBm for 802.11g – ~36% @ POUT = 22.5 dBm for 802.11b Bias Circuit • Low shut-down current (~2 µA) • Low Voltage operation down to 2.7V bias. • Limited variation over temperature – ~1 dB power variation between -40°C to +85°C – ~2 dB gain variation between -40°C to +85°C VCCB VREF DET 75008 B1.0 Product Ordering Valid combinations for SST12LP18E SST12LP18E-QX8E • Temperature and load insensitive on-chip power detector >15 dB dynamic range • Packages available – 8-contact XSON – 2mm x 2mm x 0.45mm SST12LP18E Evaluation Kits SST12LP18E-QX8E-K Note: Valid combinations are those products in mass production or will be in mass production.
