SE5004L: 5 GHz, 26dBm Power Amplifier with Power Detector

Applications Product Description

1 DSSS 5 GHz WLAN (IEEE802.11a) The SE5004L is a 5GHz power amplifier offering high
1 DSSS 5 GHz WLAN (IEEE802.11n) linear power for wireless LAN applications. The
SE5004L incorporates a power detector for closed
1 Access Points, PCMCIA, PC cards loop monitoring and control of the output power.

The SE5004L offers high integration for a simplified

Features design, providing quicker time to market and higher
1 High output power amplifier application board production yield. The device
- 26dBm at 5V integrates the input match, the inter-stage match, the
output match, the power detector with 15dB of
1 External Analog Reference Voltage (VREF) for
dynamic range and a 3.8GHz notch filter. Only 6
maximum flexibility external decoupling capacitors are required to
1 Buffered, temperature compensated power complete the design.
detector
1 3% EVM, @26dBm, 64 QAM, 54 Mbps For wireless LAN applications, the device meets the
1 32 dB Gain requirements of IEEE802.11a & 802.11n, and delivers
1 Lead Free, RoHS compliant, halogen free MSL3 approximately 26dBm of linear output power at 5V.
package
The SE5004L integrates temperature compensated
1 20 pin 4 mm x 4 mm x 0.9 mm QFN
bias voltage generators. A 2.85V reference voltage
on VREF is all that is required to enable or disable the
power amplifier.

Package Handling Information

Because of its sensitivity to moisture absorption, instructions on the shipping container label must be followed
regarding exposure to moisture after the container seal is broken, otherwise, problems related to moisture absorption
may occur when the part is subjected to high temperature during solder assembly. The SE5004L is capable of
withstanding a Pb free solder reflow. Care must be taken when attaching this product, whether it is done manually or
in a production solder reflow environment. If the part is manually attached, precaution should be taken to insure that
the device is not subjected to temperatures above its rated peak temperature for an extended period of time. For
details on both attachment techniques, precautions, and handling procedures recommended, please refer to:
1 “Quad Flat No-Lead Module Solder Reflow & Rework Information”, Document Number QAD-00045
1 “Handling, Packing, Shipping and Use of Moisture Sensitive QFN”, Document Number QAD-00044
