Description
The SE2622L is a 2.4 GHz power amplifier designed for use in the
2.4 GHz ISM band for wireless LAN applications. The device
incorporates a power detector for closed loop monitoring of the
output power.
The SE2622L includes a digital enable control for device on/off
control.
The SE2622L temperature compensated power detector is highly
immune to mismatch at its output with less than 1.5 dB of
variation with a 2:1 mismatch. The device package and pinout for
the 16-pin QFN are shown in Figure 1. A block diagram of the
SE2622L is shown in Figure 2.

Note 1:
Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other
parameters set at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device.
CAUTION:
Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage this device. This device
must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body
or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be used at all times.

T1: L = 0.9 mm, W = 0.424 mm
T1 length is measured from the outside
edge of the device lead to the middle
edge of the C14 land pad.
T2: L = 1.95 mm, W = 0.424 mm
T2 length is measured from the middle
edge of the C14 land pad to the inside
edge of the C15 land pad.
T3: L = 1.04 mm, W = 0.424 mm
T3 length is measured from the outside
edge of the TX line to the inside
edge of the C14 land pad.
T4: L = 1.04 mm, W = 0.424 mm
T4 length is measured from the outside edge
of the TX line to the inside edge of the C16
land pad. C16 is centered on the middle edge of
the right land pad of C15.
T5: L = 1.50 mm, W = 0.424 mm
T5 length is measured from the inside
edge of the C15 land pad to the inside
edge of the L3 land pad.
C17 is placed immediately after L3 with the
top land pad directly on the TX track.
L2 is placed 1.4 mm away from the device.
This dimension is measured from the outside
edge of the device lead to the middle edge of
the land pad of L2. The outer edge of the land
pad is aligned with the center of the TX track.
All trace dimensions are based on having a
ground plane immediately below the trace with
0.254 mm off FR406 as the substrate.

Circuit Design Considerations
The following design considerations are general in nature and
must be followed regardless of final use or configuration:
Paths to ground should be made as short as possible.
The ground pad of the SE2622L-R has special electrical and
thermal grounding requirements. This pad is the main thermal
conduit for heat dissipation. Since the circuit board acts as the
heat sink, it must shunt as much heat as possible from the
device. Therefore, design the connection to the ground pad to
dissipate the maximum wattage produced by the circuit board.
Multiple vias to the grounding layer are required. For further
information, refer to the Skyworks Application Note,
PCB Design
Guidelines for High Power Dissipation Packages,
document
number 201211.
Bypass capacitors should be used on the DC supply lines. An RF
inductor is required on the VCC supply line to block RF signals
from the DC supply. Refer to the schematic drawing below for
further details.
The RF lines should be well separated from each other with
solid ground between traces to maximize input-to-output
isolation.
