PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The ANADIGICS AWL6153 WLAN Power Amplifier is an easy to use module that delivers high levels of linearity and efficiency for high data rate applications. Designed for the 2.4 GHz WLAN standards, it supports the 54 Mbps data rates specified in IEEE 802.11g.

Requiring a single +3 V to +5 V supply and a reference voltage input, the AWL6153 reduces system power consumption by offering a low leakage current while the amplifier is shut down.

No external circuits are required for RF impedance matching, thus reducing component costs and making it easy to incorporate the device into new designs.
