RF5300
3V, 5GHz LINEAR POWER AMPLIFIER
The RF5300 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 manufac-
tured on an advanced Gallium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor
(HBT) process, and has been designed for use as the final RF amplifier in
5GHz WLAN and other spread-spectrum transmitters. The device is pro-
vided in a 16-pin leadless chip carrier with a backside ground. The
RF5300 is designed to maintain linearity over a wide range of supply volt-
age and power output. The RF5300 is designed to reduce end-product
BOM count by integrating all matching circuitry onto the chip.
