InGaP HBT 2.4 – 2.5 GHz Power Amplifier
TM

DESCRIPTION
The LX5510B 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 a single supply of
3.3 volts and a low quiescent current
of 70mA the power gain is 19dB 2.4 –
2.5GHz.
For +19dBm OFDM output power
(64QAM, 54Mbps), the PA provides a
low EVM (Error-Vector Magnitude) of
3.0%, and consumes 135mA total DC
current with the nominal 3.3V bias.
The LX5510B is available in a 16-
pin 3mmx3mm micro-lead package
(MLP). The compact footprint, low
profile, and excellent thermal capability
of the MLP package makes the
LX5510B an ideal solution for medium-
gain power amplifier requirements for
IEEE 802.11b/g applications
