Product Description

The SE2593A20 is a complete 802.11n WLAN RF

front-end module providing all the functionality of the

power amplifiers, LNA, power detector, T/R switch,

diplexers and associated matching. The SE2593A20

provides a complete 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WLAN

Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) RF solution

from the output of the transceiver to the antennas in a

compact form factor.

The

receive

path

is

designed

to

maximize

performance by providing both a low noise amplifier

as well as a bypass state, for use when high power

signals are being received.

Designed for ease of use, all RF ports are matched to

50 Ω to simplify PCB layout and the interface to the

transceiver RFIC. The SE2593A20 also includes a

transmitter power detector for each band with 20 dB

of dynamic range. The power ramp rise/fall time is

less than 0.5 μs.

The device also provides band pass filters for both the

a and b/g bands prior to the input of each 2.4 GHz

and 5 GHz power amplifiers, respectively.

The SE2593A20 packaged in 5mm x 6mm x 1.0mm,

Halogen free, Lead free, ROHS compliant, MSL 3

LGA package.
