QFN
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
+3.3V supply and consume ultra-low current in the
OFF mode.
APPLICATIONS
• 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN for Fixed, Mobile, and
Handheld applications
The ANADIGICS AWL9966 is a high performance
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 2.412-2.484 GHz and 5.15-5.85
GHz bands. Matched 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.
