2.4 GHz High-Efficiency, High-Gain Power Amplifier Module

SST12LP17E

SST12LP17E is a 2.4 GHz high-efficiency, fully-matched power amplifier module

based on the highly-reliable InGaP/GaAs HBT technology. It is designed in compli-

ance with IEEE 802.11b/g/n applications and typically provides 28 dB gain with 28%

power-added efficiency at 21dBm. SST12LP17E has excellent linearity, providing

3% EVM at typically 18 dBm, while meeting 802.11g spectrum mask at 21.5 dBm.

This power amplifier requires no external RF matching, and only requires one exter-

nal DC-bias capacitor to meet the specified performance. It offers high-speed

power-up/-down control through a single reference voltage pin and includes a tem-

perature-stable, VSWR insensitive power detector voltage output. SST12LP17E is

offered in a super-thin (0.4mm maximum) 8-contact X2SON package and a 8-con-

tact USON package.
