PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ALT6704 HELP4TMPAisa4thgenerationHELPTM
product for LTE and WCDMA devices operating in
UMTS1700(Band3,4,9,10)andforCDMAdevices
operatinginAWS/KPCSband.ThisPAincorporates
ANADIGICS’ HELP4TM technology to deliver
exceptional efciency at low power levels and low
quiescentcurrentwithouttheneedforexternalvoltage
regulatorsorconverters.Thedeviceismanufactured
using advanced InGaP-PlusTM HBT technology
offeringstate-of-the-artreliability,temperaturestability,
andruggedness.Three selectable bias modes that
optimizeefciencyfordifferentoutputpowerlevelsand
ashutdownmodewithlowleakagecurrentincrease
handset talk and standby time.A “daisy chainable”
directionalcouplerisintegratedinthemodule,thus
eliminating the need of an external coupler. The
self-contained3mmx3mmx1mmsurfacemount
packageincorporatesmatchingnetworksoptimizedfor
outputpower,efciency,andlinearityina50Ωsystem.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Table 2: Absolute Minimum and Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute ratings may cause permanent damage.
Functional operation is not implied under these conditions. Exposure
to absolute ratings for extended periods of time may adversely affect
reliability.
Table 3: Operating Ranges
The device may be operated safely over these conditions; however, parametric performance is guaranteed only
overtheconditionsdenedintheelectricalspecications.
Notes:
(1) For Operation at 3.1 V, POUT is derated 0.8 dB.
(2) LTE waveform: Up to 20 MHz BW, QPSK, 18 RB, START = 0.
(3) For Operation at +105 °C, POUT is derated by 1.0 dB.
