Product Description
The SE2604L is a high power 802.11bgn WLAN
power amplifier module providing the functionality of
the power amplifier, power detector, reference voltage
generator and input match.
The SE2604L is designed for ease of use and
maximum flexibility, with an integrated input match,
and external output match to adjust the load line for
either 3.3V, 23dBm operation.
The SE2604L includes a temperature compensated
transmit power detector with over 20 dB of dynamic
range and <1.2dB variation under 3:1 mismatch at the
antenna.
The SE2604L includes a digital enable control due to
an integrated reference voltage generator. The power
ramp rise/fall time is 0.5 !s typical.

Package Handling Information
Because of its sensitivity to moisture absorption, instructions on the shipping container label must be followed
regarding exposure to moisture after the container seal is broken, otherwise, problems related to moisture absorption
may occur when the part is subjected to high temperature during solder assembly. The SE2604L is capable of
withstanding a Pb free solder reflow. Care must be taken when attaching this product, whether it is done manually or
in a production solder reflow environment. If the part is manually attached, precaution should be taken to insure that
the device is not subjected to temperatures above its rated peak temperature for an extended period of time. For
details on both attachment techniques, precautions, and handling procedures recommended by SiGe, please refer to:
