KEY FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
LX5543 is a WLAN front-end
module (FEM) for 802.11b/g/n and
other applications in the 2.4-2.5GHz
frequency range. LX5543 integrates
an advanced InGaP/GaAs Hetero-
junction Bipolar Transistor (HBT)
power amplifier with on chip
impedance matching and a Depletion
mode pHEMT (D-pHEMT) single-
pole triple-throw (SP3T) switch in a
single package with 3x3mm footprint.
LX5543 provides capability of sharing
a single antenna between WLAN and
Bluetooth systems through the SP3T
switch.
The Tx path of LX5543 features a
two-stage monolithic microwave
integrated circuit (MMIC) power
amplifier with active bias circuitry,
on-chip output power detector, and
50 input/output matching inside the
package. With 3.6V supply voltage
and 82mA bias current, the Tx path
provides about 25dB power gain, and
+17dBm linear output power, with
EVM (<3%) for 64QAM/ 54Mbps
OFDM. Both gain and power are
readily measured at antenna port, with
the insertion loss of the SP3T switch
included.
The Rx path of LX5543 features low
insertion loss of 0.6dB and high input
referred 1dB gain compression point
(IP
1dB
) of +25dBm. Bluetooth path of
LX5543 features insertion loss 0.9dB,
and IP
1dB
of +29dBm.
LX5543 is available in a 16-pin, low
profile of 0.55mm, 3x3mm
2
micro-
lead package (MLPQ-16L). With its
high level of functional integration,
best-class
performance,
compact
footprint and low profile, LX5543
offers an ideal front-end solution for
the ever demanding design require-
ments of today’s highly integrated
mobile equipments, including 802.11
b/g/n and Bluetooth applications.
