[SREEKUTTAN]

Hi...

I'm new to Nordic devzone.I am using nRF52810 I want to know is there any recommended power amplifier for this particular chip..? because this chip right now does not provide the output power I wanted. please help me out.

Thanks.

Please clarify you want to amplify:

1. Antenna power

2. Current power from GPIO?

I need to amplify antenna power to 10dB.

Hi,

 

We do not recommend any particular part, all single-ended 50 ohm FEMs or external PAs can be used. The only one with 10 dBm saturated output power I can think of off the top of my head is Skyworks SKY66111-11. I have no clue about pricing, but you might want to keep in mind that nRF52840 has 8 dBm output power by default. 8dBm is not too far off, and it might be a simpler and not too much more expensive solution.

 

Best regards,

Andreas
