KEY FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The AP1076 is a 2.4~ 2.5 GHz linear power amplifier MMIC
(Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit) fabricated with
InGaP HBT process. Input match and a power detector are
incorporated on-chip for ease of use, while external output
match is used to provide the flexibility the users with the
flexibility in system optimization. The device is intended for
use in WLAN IEEE802.11b/g/n/ac applications. It also
serves as a general purpose PA solution for ISM band
wireless systems requiring high power and/or high linearity.
5V Condition Performance
• Quiescent Current
270mA
• High Linearity:
26dBm @ EVM = 3 %, with 64QAM OFDM
• High PAE:
