Designed for the 2.4 GHz WLAN standards, it supports the 54 Mbps data rates specified in IEEE 802.11g. Requiring a single +3 V to +5 V supply and a reference voltage input, the AWL6153 reduces system power consumption by offering a low leakage current while the amplifier is shut down. VCC No external circuits are required for RF impedance matching, thus reducing component costs and making it easy to incorporate the device into new designs. The AWL6153 is manufactured using an advanced InGaP HBT technology that offers state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability and ruggedness. It is offered in a 4 x 4 x 1.5 mm surface mount module optimized for a 50Ω system.
