PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ANADIGICS AWL6152 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 AWL6152 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.
The AWL6152 is manufactured using an advanced
InGaP HBT technology that offers state-of-the-art
reliability, temperature stability and ruggedness. It
is offered in a 4mm x 4mm x 1.5mm surface mount
module optimized for a 50
system.

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.
