SST12LN01 2.4-2.5 GHz WLAN Low-Noise Amplifier Features 1.0 • Gain: SST12LN01 is a cost effective Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) which requires no external RF-matching components. This device is based on the GaAs pHEMT technology, and complies with 802.11 b/g applications. – Typically 13.5 dB gain across 2.4–2.5 GHz • Noise Figure: – Typically 1.5 dB across 2.4–2.5 GHz • P1dB: – Typically -5dBm with VDD 3.3V • Low-Current Consumption – 10 mA across 2.4–2.5 GHz • 50 Input/Output Matched • Packages available – 6-contact UQFN – 3 mm x 1.6 mm • All non-Pb (lead-free) devices are RoHS compliant Applications • WLAN • Bluetooth • Wireless Network 2015 Microchip Technology Inc. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION SST12LN01 provides high-performance, low-noise, and moderate-gain operation within the 2.4–2.5 GHz frequency band. Across this frequency band, the LNA typically provides 13.5 dB gain and 1.5 dB noise figure. This LNA cell is designed with a self DC-biasing scheme, which maintains low DC current consumption, nominally at 10 mA, during operation. Optimum performance is achieved with only a single power supply, and no external bias resistors or networks are required. The input and output ports are single-ended 50 matched. RF ports are also DC isolated requiring no DC blocking capacitors or matching components. SST12LN01 is offered in a 6-contact UQFN package. See Figure 3-1 for pin assignments and Table 4-1 for pin descriptions.
