RFPA5208

WiFi Power Amplifier

2.4GHz to 2.5GHz

The RFPA5208 is a three-stage power amplifier (PA) designed for

WiFi 802.11b/g/n/ac systems.

The integrated input and output

50

Ω match and integrated regulator minimizes layout area in the

customer’s

application,

reduces

the

bill

of

materials

and

manufacturability cost. Performance is focused on a balance of

efficiency and linear power that increases the range of connection.

The RFPA5208 integrates the Power Amplifier (PA), regulator and

a power detector coupler for improved accuracy. The device is

provided in a 4mm x 4mm x 1.05mm, 10-pin laminate package.
