4.9-5.9 GHz High-Linearity Power Amplifier

SST11CP15

Data Sheet

Product Description

The SST11CP15 is a high-linearity power amplifier that has low power consumption and is based on

the highly-reliable InGaP/GaAs HBT technology.

ured for high-linearity, high-efficiency applications with superb power-added efficiency y while operat-

ing over the entire 802.11a frequency band for U.S., European, and Japanese markets (4.9-5.9 GHz).

The SST11CP15 has excellent linearity, typically ~3% added EVM at 20 dBm output power for 54 Mbps

802.11a operation, at 5.0V, while meeting 802.11a spectrum mask at 23 dBm. SST11CP15 also pro-

vides a wide dynamic-range, linear power detector which can lower users’ cost on power control.

The power amplifier IC also features easy board-level operation along with high-speed power-up/down

switching signal directly from the baseband chip. These features coupled with low operating current

make the SST11CP15 ideal for the final stage power amplification in battery-powered 802.11a WLAN

transmitter applications.

The SST11CP15 is offered in 12-contact UQFN package with 0.6 mm maximum thickness. See Figure

2 for pin assignments and Table 1 for pin descriptions.
