This PA incorporates ANADIGICS' HELP3TM technology to provide low power consumption without the need for an external voltage regulator. The device is manufactured on an advanced InGaP HBT MMIC technology offering state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness. There are three selectable bias modes that optimize efficiency for different output power levels, and a shutdown mode with low leakage current, increase handset talk and standby time. The self-contained 4 mm x 4 mm x 1 mm surface mount package incorporates matching networks optimized for output power, efficiency, and linearity in a 50 system.

The Bias Control table lists the recommended modes of operation for various applications. Shutdown Mode Three operating modes are recommended to optimize current consumption. High Bias/High Power operating mode is for POUT levels > 16 dBm. At ~16dBm - 7 dBm, the PA should be "Mode Switched" to Medium Power Mode. For POUT levels < ~8 dBm, the PA can be switched to Low Power Mode for even lower quiescent current consumption. The power amplifier may be placed in a shutdown mode by applying logic low levels (see Operating Ranges table) to the VENABLE, VMODE1 and VMODE2 voltages. Bias Modes The power amplifier may be placed in either a Low Bias mode or a High Bias mode by applying the appropriate Table 5: Bias Control APPLICATION POUT LEVELS BIAS MODE VENABLE VMODE1 VMODE2 VCC VBATT WCDMA - low power (Low Bias Mode) < +8 dBm Low +2.4 V +2.4 V +2.4 V 3.2 - 4.2 V > 3.2 V WCDMA - med power (Medium Bias Mode) 7 POUT < +16 dBm Low +2.4 V +2.4 V 0V 3.2 - 4.2 V > 3.2 V WCDMA - high power (High Bias Mode) > +16 dBm High +2.4 V 0V 0V 3.2 - 4.2 V > 3.2 V Optional lower VCC in low power mode < +7 dBm Low +2.4 V +2.4 V 2.4 V 1.5 V > 3.2 V - Shutdown 0V 0V 0V 3.2 - 4.2 V > 3.2 V Shutdown VBATT VCC C5 2.2 F C1 0.01F 1 2 RF IN VMODE2 VMODE1 VENABLE C2 0.01F VBATT VCC RFIN GND 10 C3 0.01F C4 2.2F ceramic 9 3 VMODE2 RFOUT 8 4 VMODE1 GND 7 5 VENABLE GND 6 RF OUT GND at slug 10K Optional pull-down Figure 3: Application Circuit Schematic Data Sheet - Rev 2.2 11/2008 5 AWT6278 Figure 4: M20 Package Outline - 10 Pin 4 mm x 4 mm x 1 mm Surface Mount Module 78R 78R Figure 5: Branding Specification - M20 Package 6 Data Sheet - Rev 2.2 11/2008 AWT6278 COMPONENT PACKAGING Figure 6: Tape & Reel Packaging Table 6: Tape & Reel Dimensions PACKAGE TYPE TAPE WIDTH POCKET PITCH REEL CAPACITY MAX REEL DIA 4 mm x 4 mm x 1 mm 12 mm 8 mm 2500 13" Data Sheet - Rev 2.2 11/2008 7 AWT6278 ORDERING INFORMATION ORDER NUMBER TEMPERATURE RANGE PACKAGE DESCRIPTION AWT6278RM20P8 -10 oC to +90 oC RoHS Compliant 10 Pin 4 mm x 4 mm x 1 mm Tape and Reel, 2500 pieces per Reel Surface Mount Module AWT6278RM20P9 -10 oC to +90 oC RoHS Compliant 10 Pin 4 mm x 4 mm x 1 mm Partial Tape and Reel Surface Mount Module COMPONENT PACKAGING ANADIGICS, Inc. 141 Mount Bethel Road Warren, New Jersey 07059, U.S.A.
