SE2525L
RangeCharger™ 2.4GHz Power Amplifier with Power Detector
Preliminary Information
Applications
Product Description
The SE2525L is a 2.4GHz power amplifier designed
for use in the 2.4GHz ISM band for wireless LAN
applications. The device incorporates two selectable
power detectors for closed loop monitoring of the
output power.
DSSS 2.4GHz WLAN (IEEE802.11b)
OFDM 2.4GHz WLAN (IEEE802.11g)
Access Points, PCMCIA, PC cards
Features
For wireless LAN applications, the device meets the
requirements of 802.11g and delivers +19 dBm, at an
EVM of 2.7% and current of 160 mA @ 3.3 V.
+19 dBm, EVM = 2.7%, 802.11g, OFDM 54 Mbps
+23 dBm, ACPR < -32 dBr, 802.11b
+25.5 dBm P1dB at 3.3 V
The SE2525L‘s bias architecture provides for lower
current consumption at lower output power levels.
Selectable integrated external or internal coupled
temperature compensated power detector
Also, the devices bias (V ) control allows for further

minor customization of the bias current for power
saving at lower output powers.
Selectable Power Detector Slope for use with
multiple chipsets (Negative and Positive)
Integrated power amplifier enable pin (VEN
Single supply voltage: 2.7 to 3.6 V

The SE2525L includes a digital enable control for
device on/off control.
Small plastic package, 16 pin 4 mm x 4 mm QFN
The SE2525L has two selectable power detectors.
The internally coupled signal is selected by grounding
the
VDETIN/DETSEL pin. This detector detects signal at

detectors are temperature compensated for minimum
component count and high accuracy. Each of these
power detectors also have selectable positive and
negative slopes for ease of use with all chipsets.
Please note this device is not recommended for
new designs. SiGe’s SE2528L is a pin for pin
compatible device and can be used in existing
SE2525L application boards with only component
value changes. Application notes are available to
assist in the change.
