SST12LN01 2.4-2.5 GHz WLAN Low-Noise Amplifier Features 1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION • Gain: SST12LN01 is a cost effective Low-Noise Amplifier – Typically 13.5 dB gain across 2.4–2.5 GHz (LNA) which requires no external RF-matching compo- (cid:129) Noise Figure: nents. This device is based on the GaAs pHEMT tech- nology, and complies with 802.11 b/g applications. – Typically 1.5 dB across 2.4–2.5 GHz (cid:129) P1dB: SST12LN01 provides high-performance, low-noise, and moderate-gain operation within the 2.4–2.5 GHz – Typically -5dBm with V 3.3V DD frequency band. Across this frequency band, the LNA (cid:129) Low-Current Consumption typically provides 13.5 dB gain and 1.5 dB noise figure. – 10 mA across 2.4–2.5 GHz This LNA cell is designed with a self DC-biasing (cid:129) 50 Input/Output Matched scheme, which maintains low DC current consumption, (cid:129) Packages available nominally at 10 mA, during operation. Optimum perfor- – 6-contact UQFN – 3 mm x 1.6 mm mance is achieved with only a single power supply, and (cid:129) All non-Pb (lead-free) devices are RoHS no external bias resistors or networks are required. The compliant input and output ports are single-ended 50 matched. RF ports are also DC isolated requiring no DC blocking Applications capacitors or matching components. SST12LN01 is offered in a 6-contact UQFN package. (cid:129) WLAN See Figure 3-1 for pin assignments and Table 4-1 for (cid:129) Bluetooth pin descriptions.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices: • Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet. • Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions. • There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property. • Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code. • Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.” Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
