2.4 GHz High-Power, High-Gain Power Amplifier Module SST12LP08A A Microchip Technology Company Product Brief The SST12LP08A is a versatile power amplifier based on the highly-reliable InGaP/GaAs HBT technology. Easily configured for linear high-power applications with excellent power-added efficiency while operating over the 2.4- 2.5 GHz frequency band, it typically provides 29 dB gain with 34% power-added efficiency, while meeting 802.11g spectrum mask at 24 dBm. The SST12LP08A also features easy board-level usage along with high-speed power-up/down control through a single combined reference voltage pin and is offered in an 8-contact XSON package. Features Block Diagram • High Gain: VCC1 – Typically 29 dB gain across 2.4~2.5 GHz over temperature -40°C to +85°C VCC2 • High linear output power (at 3.3V): – >28 dBm P1dB – ~2.5% added EVM up to 20 dBm for 54 Mbps 802.11g signal – Meets 802.11g OFDM ACPR requirement up to 24 dBm – Meets 802.11b ACPR requirement up to 23.5 dBm RFIN RFOUT • High power-added efficiency/Low operating current for both 802.11g/b applications – ~34% @ POUT = 24 dBm for 802.11g – ~31% @ POUT = 23.5 dBm for 802.11b Bias Circuit • Low Shut-down Current (~2 µA) VCCB • High temperature stability VREF DET 75013 B1.0 – ~1 dB power variation between -40°C to +85°C – ~3 dB gain variation between -40°C to +85°C • Temperature and load insensitive on-chip power detector – 20 dB dynamic range • Simple input/output matching • Packages available Product Ordering Valid combinations for SST12LP08A SST12LP08A-QX8E – 8-contact XSON – 2mm x 2mm x 0.45mm • All devices are RoHS compliant SST12LP08A Evaluation Kits SST12LP08A-QX8E-K Applications • WLAN (IEEE 802.11b/g/n) • Home RF Note: Valid combinations are those products in mass production or will be in mass production.
