PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ANADIGICS AWL9224 power amplifier is a high
performance InGaP HBT IC designed for transmit
applications in the 2.4-2.5 GHz band. Matched to
50 at the input and output, the part requires no
additional RF matching components off-chip. The PA
exhibits unparalleled linearity for both IEEE 802.11g
and 802.11b WLAN systems under the toughest signal
configurations within these standards.
The power detector is temperature compensated on
the chip, enabling a single-ended output voltage with
excellent accuracy over a wide range of operating
temperatures. The PA is biased by a single +3.3 V
supply and consumes ultra-low current in the OFF
mode.
The AWL9224 is manufactured using advanced InGaP
HBT technology that offers state-of-the-art reliability,
temperature stability and ruggedness. The AWL9224
is RoHS (Restrictions on Hazardous Substances)
compliant. It is provided in a 3 x 3 x 0.9 mm LPCC
package optimized for a 50 system.
