Microchip Introduces Compact, High-Efficiency RF Power Amplifier for 5 GHz Wi-Fi® Applications
Microchip Technology Inc has announced the new SST11CP15 RF power amplifier for 5 GHz IEE 802.11a/n WLAN embedded applications. The device operates on the 4.9 to 5.9 GHz band, and offers a wide operating voltage of 3.3V to 5V. The SST11CP15 features a high linear output power of 18 dBm at 2.5 percent EVM, using 802.11a OFDM 54 Mbps at 3.3V, and 20 dBm at 5.0V, and offers an output power of 23 dBm at mask compliance of 6 Mbps, at 3.3V
Coin cells and peak current draw
Designers of portable equipment using coin cell batteries are challenged by system level energy budget considerations, mainly driven by MCU and RF current consumption, as well as by the capacity and specification limits battery manufacturers provide. This report shows that adding a capacitor in parallel with a CR2032 coin cell is the most effective choice a designer can make to maximize battery capacity utilization in low power RF applications (m...
