DESCRIPTION
KEY FEATURES
The Microsemi LX5511 is a power
amplifier that is optimized for WLAN
applications in the 2.3GHz - 2.5GHz
frequency range. The LX5511 Power
Amplifier is implemented as a two-
stage monolithic microwave integrated
circuit (MMIC) with active bias and
output pre-matching.
The device is manufactured with an
InGaP/GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar
Transistor
(HBT)
IC
process
(MOCVD). With single low voltage
supply of 3.3V 26 dB power gain
between 2.3-2.5GHz, at a low
quiescent current of 90mA.
For 20dBm OFDM output power
(64QAM, 54Mbps), the PA provides a
low EVM (Error-Vector Magnitude) of
less than 3.0%, and consumes 170 mA
total DC current..
The LX5511 is available in a 16-pin
3mmx3mm micro-lead quad package
(MLPQ). The compact footprint, low
profile, and thermal capability of the
MLPQ package makes the LX5511 an
ideal solution for medium-gain power
amplifier requirements for IEEE
802.11b/g applications

RF input.
Bias current control voltage for the first stage.
Bias current control voltage for the second stage. The VB2 pin is connected with the first stage control voltage
(VB1) into a single reference voltage (referred to as Vref) through an external resistor bridge.
Supply voltage for the bias reference and control circuits. This pin can be combined with both VC1 and VC2 pins,
resulting in a single supply voltage (referred to as Vc).
RF output.
Power supply for first stage amplifier.
Power supply for second stage amplifier.
Power detector output.
The center metal base of the MLP package provides both DC and RF ground as well as heat sink for the power
amplifier.
