InGaP HBT 2.4 – 2.5 GHz Power Amplifier

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

FUNCTIONAL PIN DESCRIPTION
Name Description
RF IN
RF input for the power amplifier. This pin is DC-shorted to GND but AC-coupled to the transistor base of the first
stage.
VB1 Bias current control voltage for the first stage.
VB2
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 V
REF
) through an external resistor bridge.
VCC
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 V
C
).
RF OUT RF output for the power amplifier.
VC1
Power supply for first stage amplifier. The VC1 feed line should be terminated with a 3.9pF bypass capacitor 50
mil apart from the device, followed by a 8.2nH blocking inductor at the supply side. This pin can be combined
with VC2 and VCC pins, resulting in a single supply voltage (referred to as V
C
).
VC2
Power supply for second stage amplifier. The VC2 feed line should be driven with a 8.2nH AC blocking inductor
and 1µF bypass capacitor. This pin can be combined with VC1 and VCC pins, resulting in a single supply voltage
(referred to as V
C
).
GND
The center metal base of the MLP package provides both DC and RF ground as well as heat sink for the power
amplifier.
