RFPA5201E

WiFi Power Amplifier

5.0V, 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz

The RFPA5201E is an integrated Power Amplifier (PA) designed for

high performance WiFi systems requiring up to +29dBm linear output

power. The PA is manufactured on an advanced RFMD InGaP

Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process for optimal efficiency

and linearity (EVM).

The RFPA5201E integrates the power detector, biasing and input/output

match which reduces the number of external components and

manufacturability cost. The device is mounted on a 14-pin, 7 x 7mm

LGA laminate package and meets the RF specifications for 802.11b/g/n

systems.
