PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ANADIGICS AWL9224 power amplifier is a high
performance InGaP HBT IC designed for transmit
applications in the 2.4-2.5 GHz band. Matched to
50
V at the input and output, the part requires no
additional RF matching components off-chip. The
PA exhibits unparalleled linearity for both IEEE
802.11g and 802.11b WLAN systems under the
toughest signal configurations within these
standards.
The power detector is temperature compensated
on the chip, enabling a single-ended output voltage
with excellent accuracy over a wide range of
operating temperatures. The PA is biased by a
single +3.3 V supply and consumes ultra-low
current in the OFF mode.
The AWL9224 is manufactured using advanced
InGaP HBT technology that offers state-of-the-art
reliability, temperature stability and ruggedness.
The AWL9224 is RoHS (Restrictions on Hazardous
Substances) compliant. It is provided in a 3 x 3 x 0.9
mm LPCC package optimized for a 50
V system.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Table 2: Absolute Minimum and Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute ratings may cause permanent damage. Functional operation is
not implied under these conditions. Exposure to absolute ratings for extended periods of time
may adversely affect reliability.
Table 3: Operating Ranges
The device may be operated safely over these conditions; however, parametric performance is
guaranteed only over the conditions defined in the electrical specifications.
