The RF5824 is a linear, medium-power, high-efficiency dual-band power amplifier module designed specifically for battery-operated WLAN applications such as PC cards, mini-PCI and compact flash applications. It is also designed to meet IEEE802.11a/b/g, IEEE802.11n, FCC, and ETSI requirements for operation within the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz and 4.90GHz to 5.85GHz bands. The device is manufactured on an advanced InGaP GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor process, and has been designed for use as the final RF amplifier in both the 2GHz and 5GHz WLAN and other spread-spectrum transmitters. The device is packaged in a QFN, 24-pin, 4mmx4mmx0.9mm plastic package with back side ground. The RF5824 operates from a single supply and will be easily incorporated into WLAN and other designs with minimal external components.
