SST13LP01
Dual-Band Power Amplifier MMIC for 2.4GHz & 5GHz W-LAN
The SST13LP01 is a high-gain, high-performance, dualband power amplifier IC based on the highly-reliable InGaP/GaAs HBT technology.
The SST13LP01 device can be easily configured for highpower applications with superb power-added efficiency while operating over the 802.11a/b/g frequency band for U.S., European, and Japanese markets (2.4-2.5 GHz and 4.9-5.8 GHz.
The SST13LP01 has excellent linearity, typically ~4% added EVM at 21 dBm output power which is essential for 54 Mbps 802.11g operation while meeting 802.11g spectrum mask at 23 dBm and 802.11b spectrum mask at 23 dBm. For 802.11a operation, the SST13LP01 has demonstrated typically ~4% added EVM at 20 dBm output power while meeting 802.11a spectrum mask at 22 dBm. The SST13LP01 also has wide-range (>20 dB), temperaturestable (~1 dB over 85°C), single-ended/differential power detectors which lower users’ cost on power control.
The power amplifier IC also features easy board-level usage along with high-speed power-up/down control. Ultra-low reference current (total IREF <3 mA) makes the SST13LP01 controllable by an on/off switching signal directly from the baseband chip. These features, coupled with low operating current, make the SST13LP01 ideal for the final stage power amplification in both batterypowered 802.11a/b/g WLAN transmitter and access point applications.
