MAX2242 - 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz Linear Power Amplifier

General Description

The MAX2242 low-voltage linear power amplifier (PA) is designed for 2.4GHz ISM-band wireless LAN applications.

Key Features

  • an external bias control pin. Through the use of an external DAC, the current can be throttled back at lower output power levels while maintaining sufficient ACPR performance. As a result, the highest possible efficiency is maintained at all power levels. The device operates over a single +2.7V to +3.6V power-supply range. An on-chip shutdown feature reduces operating current to 0.5µA, eliminating the need for an external supply switch. o 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz Operating Range o +22.5dBm Linear Output.

19-1912; Rev 3; 11/03 KIT ATION EVALU E L B A IL AVA 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz Linear Power Amplifier General Description The MAX2242 low-voltage linear power amplifier (PA) is designed for 2.4GHz ISM-band wireless LAN applications. It delivers +22.5dBm of linear output power with an adjacent-channel power ratio (ACPR) of <-33dBc 1st-side lobe and <-55dBc 2nd-side lobe, compliant with the IEEE 802.11b 11MB/s WLAN standard with at least 3dB margin. The PA is packaged in the tiny 3x4 chip-scale package (UCSP™), measuring only 1.5mm x 2.0mm, ideal for radios built in small PC card and compact flash card form factors. The MAX2242 PA consists of a three-stage PA, power detector, and power management circuitry. The power detector provides over 20dB of dynamic range with ±0.
