PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SST12LP07 is a versatile power amplifier based on
the highly-reliable InGaP/GaAs HBT technology.
The SST12LP07 can be easily configured for high-power
applications with good power-added efficiency while oper-
ating over the 2.4- 2.5 GHz frequency band. This device
typically provides 29 dB gain with 22% power-added effi-
ciency @ P
OUT
= 22 dBm for 802.11g and 21% power-
added efficiency @ P
OUT
= 22 dBm for 802.11b.
The SST12LP07 has excellent linearity, typically ~2.5%
added EVM at 19 dBm output power which is essential for
54 Mbps 802.11g/n operation while meeting 802.11g spec-
trum mask at 22 dBm. The SST12LP07 can also be config-
ured for high-efficiency operation, typically 17 dBm linear 54
Mbps 802.11g output power at 85 mA total power con-
sumption. High-efficiency operation is desirable in embed-
ded applications such as in hand-held units.
The SST12LP07 also features easy board-level usage
along with high-speed power-up/down control through a
single combined reference voltage pin. Ultra-low reference
current (total I
REF
~2 mA) makes the SST12LP07 controlla-

ble by an on/off switching signal directly from the baseband
chip. These features coupled with low operating current
make the SST12LP07 ideal for the final stage power ampli-
fication in battery-powered 802.11g/b WLAN transmitter
applications.
The SST12LP07 has an excellent on-chip, single-ended
power detector, which features wide-range (~20 dB) with
dB-wise linearization and high stability over temperature (<
+/-0.3 dB 0°C to +85°C), frequency (<+/-0.3 dB across
Channels 1 through 14), and output load (<+/-0.4 dB
with 2:1 output VSWR all phases). The excellent on-
chip power detector provides a reliable solution to
board-level power control.
The SST12LP07 is offered in a 16-contact VQFN package.
See Figure 2 for pin assignments and Table 1 for pin
descriptions.

Absolute Maximum Stress Ratings
(Applied conditions greater than those listed under “Absolute Maximum
Stress Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation
of the device at these conditions or conditions greater than those defined in the operational sections of this data
sheet is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum stress rating conditions may affect device reliability.)
