General Description

The RMPA5252 power amplifier is designed for high performance WLAN applications in the 4.9–5.9 GHz frequency band. The low profile 16 pin 3 x 3 x 0.9 mm package with internal matching on both input and output to 50 Ohms minimizes next level PCB space and allows for simplified integration. An on-chip detector provides power sensing capability. The PA’s low power consumption and excellent linearity are achieved using our InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) technology.
