WLAN Power Amplifier
Data Sheet - Rev 2.3
FEATURES
• <3% EVM, 145 mA @ POUT = +19 dBm with
IEEE 802.11g Modulation at 54 Mbps
• -38 dBc ACPR 1st Sidelobe at +23 dBm with
IEEE 802.11b Modulation at 11 Mbps
• -54 dBc ACPR 2nd Sidelobe at +23 dBm with
IEEE 802.11b Modulation at 11 Mbps
• No RF Matching Required
• 34 dB of Linear Power Gain
• Temperature-Compensated Linear Power
Detector
APPLICATIONS
• IEEE 802.11 b/g WLAN
• 2.4 GHz Cordless Phones
• 2.4 GHz ISM Equipment
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The RFS P2023 power amplifier is a high
performance InGaP HBT IC designed for transmit
applications in the 2.4-2.5 GHz band. The part is
matched at the input and output so no additional RF
matching components are required off-chip. The
PA exhibits unparalleled linearity and efficiency for
both 802.11g and 802.11b WLAN systems. The
power detector is temperature compensated on chip
enabling a single-ended output voltage. The part is
biased by a single +3.3 V supply.

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.
