RFPA5208 RFPA5208 Wi-Fi PA 2.4GHz to 2.5Ghz General Description RFPA5208 The RFPA5208 is a three-stage power amplifier (PA) designed for WiFi 802.11b/g/n/ac systems. The integrated input and output 50 match and integrated regulator minimizes layout area in the customers application, reduces the bill of materials and Package: Laminate, 10-pin, manufacturability cost. Performance is focused on a balance of 4mm x 4mm x 1.05mm max efficiency and linear power that increases the range of connection. The RFPA5208 integrates the Power Amplifier (PA), regulator and a power detector coupler for improved accuracy. The device is provided in a 4mm x 4mm x 1.05mm, 10-pin laminate package.

Voltage connected internally to the collectors of the RF device. To achieve specified 3 VCC performance, the layout of the pin should match the Recommended Land Pattern 4 GND Ground connection. 5 PDET Power detector provides an output voltage proportional to the RF output power level. 6 RFOUT RF output is matched to 50 and DC blocked internally. 7 GND Ground connection. 8 GND Ground connection. 9 NC No connect. Please ensure this pin is floating, do not connect. 10 PA EN PA Enable pin, apply <0.2Vdc to turn PA off. Apply 2.9Vdc to 3.1Vdc to enable PA. Ground connection. The backside of the package should be connected to the ground plane Pkg Base GND through a short path, i.e., PCB vias under the device are recommended. Caution ESD sensitive device.
