HFA3926
Data Sheet
July 1998
File Number 4282.2
2.0GHz - 2.7GHz 250mW Power Amplifier
Features
• Highly Integrated Power Amplifier
™
The Intersil HFA3926 is an integrated
power amplifier in a low cost SSOP 28
plastic package. The power amplifier
delivers +27dB of gain with high
• Operates Over 2.7V to 6V Supply Voltage
• High Linear Output Power (P
1dB
: +24.5dBm)
efficiency and can be operated with
voltages as low as 2.7V.
• Low Cost SSOP-28 Plastic Package
Applications
The HFA3926 is ideally suited for QPSK, BPSK or other
linearly modulated systems in the 2.4GHz Industrial,
Scientific, and Medical (ISM) frequency band. It can also be
used in GFSK systems where levels of +25dBm are
required. Typical applications include Wireless Local Area
Network (WLAN) and Wireless Local Loop systems.
• Wireless Local Loop Systems
• Systems Targeting IEEE 802.11 Standard
• TDD Quadrature-Modulated Communication Systems
• Wireless Local Area Networks
• PCMCIA Wireless Transceivers
• ISM Systems
REMEMBER: Always apply Negative power to the VG pins
before applying the Positive V
bias. Failure to do so may
DD
result in the destruction of the HFA3926 Power Amplifier.
