PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SST11CP15 is a high-linearity power amplifier that has
low power consumption and is based on the highly-reliable
InGaP/GaAs HBT technology.
The power amplifier IC also features easy board-level
usage along with high-speed power-up/down control. Low
reference current (total IREF <5 mA) makes the
SST11CP15 controllable by an on/off switching signal
directly from the baseband chip. These features coupled
with low operating current make the SST11CP15 ideal for
the final stage power amplification in battery-powered
802.11a WLAN transmitter and access point applications.
The SST11CP15 can be easily configured for high-linearity,
high-efficiency applications with superb power-added effi-
ciency while operating over the entire 802.11a frequency
band for U.S., European, and Japanese markets (4.9-5.8
GHz).
The SST11CP15 is offered in 12-contact UQFN package
with 0.6 mm maximum thickness. See Figure 2 for pin
assignments and Table 1 for pin descriptions.
The SST11CP15 has excellent linearity, typically ~2.5%
added EVM at 18 dBm output power which is essential for
54 Mbps 802.11a operation while meeting 802.11a spec-
trum mask at 23 dBm. SST11CP15 also has wide-range,
single-ended power detectors which lower users’ cost on
power control.
