PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SST12LP00 is a high-performance power ampli-
fier designed for Bluetooth in the 2.4 GHz band.
The SST12LP00 is based on the highly-reliable InGaP
HBT technology and provides 29 dB gain and 23 dBm
P-1dB--ideal for final stage power amplification in
Bluetooth transmitter applications.
The SST12LP00 is offered in a 6-contact VQFN pack-
age. See Figure 1 for pin assignments and Table 1 for
pin descriptions.

Note: 1. Although many dimensions are simliar to those of JEDEC JEP95 MO-220I,
this specific package is not registered.
2. The external paddle is electrically connected to the die back-side and possibly
to
certain
V
SS
leads. This paddle can be soldered to the PC board;
it is suggested to connect this paddle to the V
SS
of the unit.
Connection of this paddle to any other voltage potential can result in shorts and/or
electrical malfunction of the device.
3. Untoleranced dimensions are nominal target dimensions.
4. All linear dimensions are in millimeters (max/min).
