2.4GHz SiGe Linear Power Amplifier
Features
The MAX2247 low-voltage, three-stage linear power
amplifier (PA) is optimized for 802.11b/g wireless LAN
(WLAN) applications in the 2.4GHz ISM band. The
device is integrated with an adjustable bias control,
power detector, and shutdown mode. The MAX2247
features 29dB of power gain and delivers up to
+24dBm of linear output power at 24% efficiency from a
single +3.3V supply. It achieves less than -32dBc firstside lobe suppression and less than -55dBc secondside lobe suppression under 802.11b modulation. In
addition, the device can be matched for optimum efficiency and performance at output power levels from
+10dBm to +24dBm. Its high +28dBm saturated output
power also allows the device to meet the requirements
of 802.11g OFDM modulation.
♦ 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz Operating Range
The MAX2247 features an external bias-control pin that
allows the supply current of the device to be dynamically throttled back at lower output power levels, thus
improving efficiency while maintaining sufficient sidelobe suppression. Proprietary internal bias circuitry
maintains stable device performance over temperature
and voltage-supply variations. An additional power-saving feature is a logic-level shutdown pin that reduces
supply current to 0.5µA and eliminates the need for an
external supply switch. The integrated shutdown function also allows guaranteed device ramp-on and rampoff times.
♦ 0.5µA Shutdown Mode
The MAX2247 integrates a power detector with 20dB
dynamic range and ±0.8dB accuracy at the highest
output power level. The detector provides a buffered
DC voltage proportional to the output power of the
device, saving cost and space by eliminating a coupler
and op amp usually required to implement a power
detector function. The device is packaged in the tiny
3 ✕ 4 chip-scale package (UCSP™), measuring only
1.5mm ✕ 2mm, making it the ideal solution for radios built
in small form factors.
♦ Up to +24dBm Linear Output Power (ACPR of
Less than -32dBc First-Side Lobe and Less than
-55dBc Second-Side Lobe)
♦ 24% PAE at +24dBm Linear Output Power, 3.3V
24% PAE at +21dBm Linear Output Power, 3.0V

2.4GHz SiGe Linear Power Amplifier
The MAX2247 linear power amplifier (PA) offers a wide
variety of features incorporated into a tiny UCSP package. The device includes internal bias circuitry, an integrated power detector with buffered output, low-power
shutdown mode, and internal input matching. The
MAX2247 output power can be optimized for +15dBm to
+24dBm by adjusting the output, first-stage, and secondstage matching network (see the Typical Operating
Circuit) while exceeding 802.11b ACPR requirements. In
addition, external bias control allows dynamic throttleback of the supply current to increase efficiency.
The MAX2247’s performance can be optimized for lower
output power levels. Go to the Maxim website,
www.maxim-ic.com, for MAX2247 application notes covering performance at +21dBm, +18dbm, and +15dBm.
Bias Circuitry
To improve efficiency at lower output levels, a bias pin
is offered to allow dynamic current control. An external
current DAC or resistor network can be used to throttleback current at lower output powers while still maintaining ACPR requirements. By including an internal voltage regulator along with the bias circuitry, no external
bias voltage is necessary. The internal voltage regulator maintains stable performance of the bias circuitry
over temperature and supply variations.
The overall current of the MAX2247 is set by the current
sourced through the bias pin. The overall current is 540
times the bias current. An internal bandgap reference provides +1.2V to each bias stage (see Figure 1). An external
resistor to ground can be placed at the bias pin to set the
bias current (refer to the MAX2247 evaluation kit).
An external current DAC can be connected directly to the
bias pin to adjust the bias current of the MAX2247. Figure
2 shows the MAX2247 connected to the MAX2820 zero-IF
transceiver, which includes a 4-bit DAC.
Shutdown Mode
The MAX2247 features a low-power shutdown mode to
further reduce current consumption. The MAX2247
responds to logic-level signals at the SHDN pin. A
logic-level high enables all circuitry, while a logic-level
low places the device in low-power shutdown mode
and reduces supply current to 0.5µA (typ). Power-ramp
turn-on and turn-off times are guaranteed to be less
than 1.5µs.
Power Detector
This device includes a power detector that samples the
peak voltage of the output and generates a voltage
proportional to the output power. The detector is fully
temperature compensated and allows the user to set
the detector bandwidth with an external capacitor.

Applications Information
The MAX2247 is a three-stage amplifier that requires
special attention to board layout and grounding for
optimum output power, gain, efficiency, and side-lobe
suppression. For ease of implementation, the MAX2247
evaluation (EV) kit layout should be used as a model.
Gerber files are available from Maxim upon request.
Follow the recommendations below to optimize performance when adapting the layout to your board.
Interstage Matching and Bypassing
VCC1 and VCC2 provide DC bias to the open-collector
outputs of the first- and second-stage amplifiers and
are also part of the interstage matching networks
required to optimize performance among the three
amplifier stages. The MAX2247 must have a small
amount of inductance on the VCC lines in addition to
the inductance already provided on-chip. See the
Typical Application Circuit for the lumped and discrete
component values used on the MAX2247 EV kit for optimum interstage matching and RF bypassing.
8
In addition to RF bypass capacitors on each bias line, a
global bypass capacitor of 4.7µF is necessary to filter
any noise on the supply line. Route separate VCC bias
paths from the global bypass capacitor (using a star
topology) to avoid coupling between PA stages. Use
the MAX2247 EV kit PC board layout as a guide.
Input Matching
The MAX2247 includes internal input matching to 50Ω, so
no external matching network is required. A DC-blocking
capacitor is required at the input to the device.
Output Matching
The RF_OUT port is an open-collector output that must be
pulled to VCC through an RF choke for proper biasing (see
the Typical Operating Circuit). A shunt 22pF capacitor to
ground is required at the supply side of the inductor. In
addition, a matching network is required for optimum gain,
efficiency, ACPR, and output power. The EV kit should
serve as a good starting point for your layout. However,
optimum performance is layout dependent, and some
component optimization may be required. It is important to
leave room on your board for tuning/optimization.

UCSP Reliability
The tiny chip-scale package (UCSP) represents a
unique package that greatly reduces board space
compared to other packages. UCSP reliability is integrally linked to the user’s assembly methods, circuit
board material, and usage environment. Operating life
test and moisture resistance remains uncompromised,
as it is primarily determined by the wafer-fabrication
process. Mechanical stress performance is a greater
consideration for a UCSP. UCSP solder-joint contact
integrity must be considered because the package is
attached through direct solder contact to the user’s PC
board. Testing done to characterize the UCSP reliability
performance shows that it is capable of performing reliably through environmental stresses. Users should also
be aware that as with any interconnect system there
are electromigration-based current limits that, in this
case, apply to the maximum allowable current in the
bumps. Reliability is a function of this current, the duty
cycle, lifetime, and bump temperature. See the
Absolute Maximum Ratings section for any specific limitations listed under Continuous Operating Lifetime.
Results of environmental stress tests and additional
usage data and recommendations are detailed in the
UCSP application note, which can be found on Maxim’s
website at www.maxim-ic.com/1st_pages/UCSP.htm.

Ground Vias
To achieve optimum gain, output power, thermal performance, and ACPR performance, ground vias should be
properly placed throughout the layout. Each ground pin
requires its own through-hole via (diameter = 10mils)
placed as near as possible to the device pin. This
reduces ground inductance, thermal resistance, and
feedback between stages. Use the MAX2247 EV kit PC
board layout as a guide.
