RFPA5512

WiFi Integrated PA Module

4.9GHz to 5.85GHz

The RFPA5512 is a three-stage power amplifier (PA) designed for

802.11a/n/ac applications. The integr

ated input and output 50Ω match

greatly reduces the layout area, bill of materials and manufacturability

cost in the customer application. The RFPA5512 is manufactured on an

advanced InGaP heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) process and is

capable of achieving linear powers up to 23dBm with an EVM <1.8%

while maintaining excellent power added efficiency.

The device is

provided in a 4.0mm x 4.0mm x 0.9mm QFN package that meets or

exceeds the power requirements of IEEE802.11a/n/ac WiFi RF systems
