RF5117C
3V, 1.8GHz TO 2.8GHz
LINEAR POWER AMPLIFIER
• IEEE802.11B WLAN Applications
• IEEE802.11G WLAN Applications
• 2.5GHz ISM Band Applications
• Commercial and Consumer Systems
• Portable Battery-Powered Equipment
• Spread-Spectrum and MMDS Systems
The RF5117C is a linear, medium-power, high-efficiency
amplifier IC designed specifically for battery-powered
WLAN applications such as PC cards, mini PCI, and
compact flash applications. The device is manufactured
on an advanced Gallium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar
Transistor (HBT) process, and has been designed for use
as the final RF amplifier in 2.5GHz WLAN and other
spread-spectrum transmitters. The device is provided in a
3mmx3mm, 16-pin, leadless chip carrier with a backside
ground. The RF5117C is designed to maintain linearity
over a wide range of supply voltage and power output.
• Single 3.3V Power Supply
• +30dBm Saturated Output Power
• 26dB Small Signal Gain
• High Linearity
• 1800MHz to 2800MHz Frequency Range
• +17dBm PO, 11G, <3% EVM
