PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The RFS P2023 power amplifier is a high
performance InGaP HBT IC designed for transmit
applications in the 2.4-2.5 GHz band. The part is
matched at the input and output so no additional RF
matching components are required off-chip. The
VCC1
NC
PA exhibits unparalleled linearity and efficiency for
both 802.11g and 802.11b WLAN systems. The
power detector is temperature compensated on chip
enabling a single-ended output voltage. The part is
biased by a single +3.3 V supply.
