SE5023L: 5 GHz, 26dBm Power Amplifier with Power Detector
Preliminary Information
Applications
DSSS 5 GHz WLAN (IEEE802.11ac)
DSSS 5 GHz WLAN (IEEE802.11n)
Access Points, PCMCIA, PC cards
Product Description
The SE5023L is a 5GHz power amplifier offering high
linear power for wireless LAN applications.
The SE5023L offers a high level of integration for a
simplified design, providing quicker time to market
and higher application board production yield. The
device integrates all matching elements, a
temperature compensated, load insensitive power
detector with 15dB of dynamic range and a 3.8GHz
notch filter.
For wireless LAN applications, the device meets the
requirements of IEEE802.11ac & 802.11n, and
delivers approximately 24dBm of 802.11ac output
power or 26dBm of 802.11n output power at 5V.
A 2.85V reference voltage on VREF is all that is
required to enable or disable the power amplifier.
