InGaP HBT 2.4 – 2.5 GHz Power Amplifier
TM

DESCRIPTION
The LX5510 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 single low voltage
supply of 3.3V 20 dB power gain
between 2.4-2.5GHz, at a low
quiescent current of 65mA.
For +19dBm OFDM output power
(64QAM, 54Mbps), the PA provides a
low EVM (Error-Vector Magnitude) of
3.0%, and consumes 125 mA total DC
current with the nominal 3.3V bias.
With increased bias of 5 V EVM is ~
4% at 23 dBm.
The LX5510 is available in a 16-pin
3mmx3mm micro-lead quad package
(MLPQ). The compact footprint, low
profile, and excellent thermal capability
of the MLPQ package makes the
LX5510 an ideal solution for medium-
gain power amplifier requirements for
IEEE 802.11b/g applications
