Tyco Electronics Introduces New Dual Mode 2.4 - 2.5 GHz ISM Power Amplifier
Low-Cost,
RoHS Compliant Amplifier Ideally Suited for Applications that Require
Low Control Voltage and High Performance
LOWELL,
Mass. – September 13, 2007 – Tyco Electronics today launched
the M/A-COM MAAPSS0081, a new 2.4 – 2.5 GHz ISM three-stage power amplifier
specifically designed for cordless applications that require both low
control voltage and high performance. With its wide voltage operating
range, the MAAPSS0081 is a dual-mode power amplifier which maximizes
system performance while reducing DC power consumption.
“The
M/A-COM MAAPSS0081 features an integrated power enabler pin providing
accurate ramp control and a separate power mode pin for current savings
in the lower power mode state,” said David Folding, product manager,
Tyco Electronics. “Additional power savings are achieved with a voltage
compensation circuit, which is included specifically for applications
where the amplifier supply voltage is not regulated and is directly
connected to the battery. As a result the M/A-COM MAAPSS0081 is one
of the most versatile and cost-effective power amplifiers available
on the market today.”
In the High Power mode, the amplifier
generates 25 dBm of output power while drawing 300 mA of current. In
Low Power mode, the output power is 17 dBm with a current of 110 mA.
The M/A-COM MAAPSS0081 has a typical power gain of 25 dB with an operating
voltage of 2.5 to 3.0 V. The amplifier is housed in a RoHS compliant
3mm 12-lead PQFN package.
Pricing and Availability
The
M/A-COM MAAPSS0081 is available from stock and is priced at $0.35 for
quantities of 100,000. Please contact Tyco Electronics’ M/A-COM domestic
and international sales channels for price and delivery information.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
