PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONThe ANADIGICS AWL5910 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 5 GHz WLAN standards, it supports IEEE 802.11a/n/ac applications.

Requiring only a single +3 V to +5 V supply and a CMOS compatible 1.8 V enable voltage, the AWL5910 reduces system power consumption by offering a low leakage current while the amplifier is shut down. The detector facilitates accurate power control (+/- 0.5 dB) over varying load conditions (3:1 VSWR). 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 AWL5910 is manufactured using an advanced InGaP HBT technology that offers state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability and ruggedness. It is offered in a 4 x 4 x 0.80 mm surface mount package optimized for a 50 Ω system.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Table 2: Absolute Minimum and Maximum Ratings

Functional operation to the specified performance is not implied under these conditions. Operation of any single parameter in excess of the absolute ratings may cause permanent damage. No damage occurs if one parameter is set at the limit while all other parameters are set within normal operating ranges.

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.

Figure 4: Recommended Application Schematic

Notes:(1) Capacitor C8 is included on the evaluation board but can be eliminated if sufficient bypassing already exists on the

customer’s board.(2) Capacitors C1 & C4 should be placed closer to the AWL5910 power amplifier. (3) Unless otherwise stated, all components are of 0402 size.(4) All RF-ports are 50 Ω matched with internal DC blocks.(5) Optional R1 (470 Ohm) is not currently supported on the evaluation board layout but can be used to change the

detector bandwidth. Other options include replacing R1 with a 0 Ohm jumper or adding a series element for the flexiibility of a low pass filter.

(6) Since the ADC acts as a high impedance, the external shunt R2 may not be required.(7) If not in use, the VDET pin should be terminated with a 10K resistor and 100pF capacitor.
