Matched to 50 at all RF inputs and outputs, the part requires no additional RF matching components off-chip, making the AWL6950 the world's simplest dual band PA module implementation available. The PA exhibits 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. The power detectors are temperature compensated on chip, enabling separate single-ended output voltages for each band with excellent accuracy over a wide range of operating temperatures. The PA is biased by a single +3.3 V supply and consumes ultra-low current in the OFF mode. The AWL6950 is manufactured using advanced InGaP HBT technology that offers state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness.
