Silicon Storage Technology

SST Communications, a developer of RF front-end components and modules for a wide range of wireless applications and a subsidiary of SST (Silicon Storage Technology, Inc.) today announced that it has doubled the output power of its 2.4 GHz WLAN power amplifier (PA) offering with the new SST12CP11. Housed in a compact 3 x 3mm QFN package, the three-stage device achieves 34 dB power gain, 26 dBm and 25 dBm linear output power at 3.5% and 2.5% EVM, respectively, at 5.0V bias with less than 470 mA current consumption. With its ultra-high linear output power, the SST12CP11 helps increase the transmission range and data rate of 802.11b/g/n wireless access points and routers in consumer and enterprise environments.
