AWL9966
WLAN 802.11 Front End Integrated Circuits
Application:
802.11 a/b/g/n & Bluetooth
Description:
The ANADIGICS AWL9966 is a high performance InGaP HBT FEIC that incorporates dual band power amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, RF switches, and filters. The FEIC is designed for WLAN transmit and receive applications in the 2.412 GHz to 2.484 GHz and 5.15 GHz to 5.85 GHz bands. Match to 50 Ohms at all RF inputs and outputs, the part requires no additional RF matching components off-chip. The antenna ports are switched between WLAN transmit, WLAN receive, Bluetooth, and simultaneous WLAN and Bluetooth paths with low loss RF switches. The PAs exhibit unparalleled linearity and efficiency for IEEE 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11a and 802.11n WLAN systems under the toughest signal configurations within these standards.
A single temperature-compensated power detector is used in the FEIC to serve both WLAN bands. The detector provides a single-ended output voltage with excellent accuracy over a wide range of operating temperatures. All circuits are biased by a single +3.3 V supply and consume ultra-low current in the OFF mode.
The AWL9966 is manufactured using advanced InGaP HBT technology that offers state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability and ruggedness.
