N2 - A fully integrated class-E power amplifier IC in 180-nm CMOS is presented for 2.5-GHz band short range wireless communication systems. To realize high efficiency with low operation voltage, a class-E amplifier with back gate effect has been designed, fabricated and fully evaluated. The proposed amplifier IC can operate at a supply voltage from 0.5 V to 1.5 V. The amplifier IC exhibits a P1dB of 6.9 dBm and a saturated output power of 10.7 dBm with a maximum drain efficiency of 36.4% at a 1.0 V power supply.
