SE5516A Block Diagram Skyworks Pb-free products are compliant with All RF ports are matched to 50 to simplify the PCB layout and all applicable legislation. For additional the interface to the transceiver. The device also includes a information, refer to Skyworks Denition of transmitter power detector with 20 dB of dynamic range for each Lead (Pb)-Free, document number SQ04-0073. transmit chain. Each PA has a separate digital enable control for transmitter on/off control. The power ramp rise/fall time is < 0.4 s. Description The SE5516A also provides a notch filter from 3.260 to 3.267 GHz The SE5516A is a complete 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN RF Front-End and 3.28 to 3.89 GHz before the input of each 2.4 GHz and Module (FEM) that provides all the functionality of the Power 5.0 GHz PA, respectively. Amplifiers (PAs), filtering, power detector, transmit/receive (T/R) The SE5516A is manufactured in a compact, 4 x 4 mm, 24-pin switch, diplexers, and associated matching. Land Grid Array (LGA) package. The device provides a complete 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz WLAN RF A functional block diagram is shown in Figure 1. The pin solution from the output of the transceiver to the antenna in an configuration and package are shown in Figure 2. Signal pin ultra-compact form factor. The SE5516A delivers < 2% EVM at assignments and functional pin descriptions are provided in rated AC power, which meets the stringent linearity conditions of Table 1. the 802.11ac standard.
