RFPA5522
WiFi Integrated PA Module
4.9GHz to 5.925GHz
The RFPA5522 is a three-stage power amplifier (PA) designed for
802.11a/n/ac applications. The integrated input and output 50Ω match
greatly reduces the layout area, bill of materials and manufacturability
cost in the customer application. The RFPA5522 is manufactured on an
advanced InGaP heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) process and is
capable of achieving linear powers up to 23dBm with an EVM <1.8%
while maintaining excellent power added efficiency. The device is
provided in a 4.0mm x 4.0mm x 0.9mm laminate package that meets or
exceeds the power requirements of IEEE802.11a/n/ac WiFi RF systems

RFMD Green: RoHS status based on EU
Directive 2011/65/EU (at time of this
document revision), halogen free per IEC
61249-2-21, < 1000ppm each of
antimony trioxide in polymeric materials
and red phosphorus as a flame retardant,
and <2% antimony in solder.
Exceeding any one or a combination of the Absolute
Maximum Rating conditions may cause permanent
damage to the device. Extended application of Absolute
