PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SST12LP14A is a versatile power amplifier based on
the highly-reliable InGaP/GaAs HBT technology.
The SST12LP14A can be easily configured for high-power
applications with good power-added efficiency while oper-
ating over the 2.4- 2.5 GHz frequency band. It typically pro-
vides 29 dB gain with 23% power-added efficiency @ P
OUT
= 22 dBm for 802.11g and 25% power-added efficiency @
P
OUT
= 23 dBm for 802.11b.
The SST12LP14A has excellent linearity, typically ~4%
added EVM at 21 dBm output power which is essential for
54 Mbps 802.11g operation while meeting 802.11g spec-
trum mask at 23 dBm. The SST12LP14A can also be con-
figured for high-efficiency operation (typically 17 dBm linear
54 Mbps 802.11g output power at 85 mA total power con-
sumption) which is desirable in embedded applications
such as in hand-held units.
The SST12LP14A also features easy board-level usage
along with high-speed power-up/down control through a
single combined reference voltage pin. Ultra-low reference
current (total I

~2 mA) makes the SST12LP14A control-

lable by an on/off switching signal directly from the base-
band chip. These features coupled with low operating
current make the SST12LP14A ideal for the final stage
power amplification in battery-powered 802.11g/b WLAN
transmitter applications.
The SST12LP14A has an excellent on-chip, single-ended
power detector, which features wide-range (>15 dB) with
dB-wise linearization and high stability over temperature (<
+/-0.3 dB 0擄C to +85擄C), frequency (<+/-0.3 dB across
Channels 1 through 14), and output load (<+/-0.4 dB
with 2:1 output VSWR all phases). The excellent on-
chip power detector provides a reliable solution to
board-level power control.
The SST12LP14A is offered in 16-contact VQFN package.
