LX5540 is a co-package RFIC
consisting
of
Heterojunction
Bipolar
(HBT) power amplifier and a InGaAs
Enhancement mode pseudomorphic
HEMT
(E-pHEMT)
amplifier. Both are optimized for
WLAN applications in the 2.3-2.5
GHz frequency range. The PA is
implemented
as
monolithic
microwave
circuit (MMIC) with active bias and
output pre-matching. The LNA is fully
matched internally and no external
matching circuit is required.
Both devices operate with single
low voltage supply of 3.3V. The PA
offers 28 dB power gain between 2.3-
2.5GHz, at a low quiescent current of
80mA.

a
two-stage
integrated
For 20dBm OFDM output power
(64QAM, 54Mbps), the PA provides a
low EVM (Error-Vector Magnitude) of
3%, and consumes 145 mA total DC
current.
The LNA offers 14 dB gain, 1.5 dB
noise figure and a high input IP3 of +4
dBm at 10 mA of DC current.
LX5540 is available in a 16-pin
3mmx3mm
micro-lead
(MLPQ-16L). The compact footprint,
low profile, and thermal capability of
the MLP package makes the LX5540 an
ideal solution for medium-gain power
transmitter and very low noise receiver
requirements
for
applications.
