PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ANADIGICS AWL6951 dual band power amplifier is The AWL6951 is manufactured using advanced InGaP
a high performance InGaP HBT power amplifier module HBT technology that offers state-of-the-art reliability,
designed for transmit applications in the 2.4-2.5 GHz temperature stability and ruggedness.
and 4.9-5.9 GHz band. Matched to 50  at all RF inputs
and outputs, the part requires no additional RF matching
components off-chip, making the AWL6951 the world’s

The power detectors are temperature compensated on
chip, enabling separate single-ended output voltages
for each band with excellent accuracy over a wide
range of operating temperatures. The PA is biased by
a single +3.3 V supply and consumes ultra-low current
in the OFF mode.
