2.4GHz SiGe Linear Power Amplifier
General Description
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 first-
side lobe suppression and less than -55dBc second-
side lobe suppression under 802.11b modulation. In
addition, the device can be matched for optimum effi-
ciency 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.
The MAX2247 features an external bias-control pin that
allows the supply current of the device to be dynamical-
ly throttled back at lower output power levels, thus
improving efficiency while maintaining sufficient side-
lobe suppression. Proprietary internal bias circuitry
maintains stable device performance over temperature
and voltage-supply variations. An additional power-sav-
ing 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 func-
tion also allows guaranteed device ramp-on and ramp-
off times.
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

Note 1:
Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to
www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
Note 2:
This device is constructed using a unique set of packaging techniques that impose a limit on the thermal profile the device
can be exposed to during board-level solder attach and rework. This limit permits the use of only the solder profiles recom-
mended in the industry-standard specification, JEDEC 020A, paragraph 7.6, Table 3 for IR/VPR and convection reflow.
Preheating is required. Hand or wave soldering is not recommended.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
