AP562
3.3-3.8 GHz WiMAX 8W Power Amplifier
Product Features
Product Description
Functional Diagram
The AP562 is a high dynamic range broadband power
amplifier in a surface mount package. The single-stage
amplifier has 11.5 dB gain, while being able to achieve
high performance for 3.3–3.8 GHz WiMAX applications
with up to 39.4 dBm of compressed 1dB power.
• 3.3 – 3.8 GHz
• +39.4 dBm P1dB
• 11.5 dB Gain
• 2.0% EVM @ 30 dBm Pout
• +12 V Supply Voltage
The AP562 uses a high reliability +12V InGaP/GaAs HBT
process technology. The device incorporates proprietary
bias circuitry to compensate for variations in linearity and
current draw over temperature. The device does not require
any negative bias voltage; an internal active bias allows the
AP562 to operate directly off a commonly used +12V
supply and has the added feature of a +5V power down
control pin. RoHS-compliant 5x6mm DFN package is
surface mountable to allow for low manufacturing costs to
the end user.

The AP562 is targeted for use in a balanced or single ended
configuration for WiMAX applications where high linearity
and high power is required.
