PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONThe ANADIGICS AWL9924 dual band power amplifier is a high performance InGaP HBT power amplifier IC designed for transmit applications in the 2.4-2.5 GHz and 4.9-5.9 GHz band. Matched to 50 at all RF inputs and outputs, the part requires no additional RF matching components off-chip, making the AWL9924 the world’s simplest dual band PA IC implementation available. The PA exhibits unparalleled linearity and efficiency for IEEE 802.11g, 802.11b and 802.11a 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 AWL9924 is manufactured using advanced InGaP HBT technology that offers state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability and ruggedness. The IC is

1 VPC 2G
2 GHz Power Control. The recommended use is for on/off control of the PA. Nominally,0 V applied will turn amplifier completely off; +3.3 V should be used to set amplifer tomaximum output capability. A series resistor is used to set the current flow into the pin,thereby controlling the overall bias level of the pin.
2 DETP 2G 2 GHz Detector Bias. Supply voltage and current is applied to this pin to apply powerto the detector circuits inside the PA.
3 RFIN 2G 2 GHz RF Input. AC coupled input stage internally matched to 50 .
