AWC6325

AWC6325 HELP3ETM Dual-band Cellular & PCS CDMA 3.4 V Linear Power Amplifier Module PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET - Rev 1.4 FEATURES InGaP HBT Technology High Efficiency: 37 % @ POUT = +28 dBm 20 % @ POUT = +16 dBm 10 % @ POUT = +10 dBm Low Quiescent Current: 4 mA Internal Voltage Regulation Built-in Directional Coupler Common VMODE Control Line Suitable for SMPS and average power tracking systems with variable supply voltages APT can reduce TS.09 average power consumption more than 25% Reduced External Component Count Thin Package: 0.9 mm RoHS Compliant Package, 260 oC MSL-3 which greatly reduces the total current drawn from the battery. This feature, in conjunction with selectable operating modes, enables significant improvements in overall power added efficiency of the AWC6325 across the entire dynamic range of operating powers. APT requires use of an external variable voltage supply (DC-DC converter), which is used to provide the variable voltage to Vcc pad of the amplifier. A low-leakage shutdown mode increases standby time. This PA has built-in directional couplers for each band, with a common coupler output port CPL_OUT. The 3 mm x 5 mm x 0.9 mm surface mount package incorporates matching networks optimized for output power, efficiency and linearity in a 50 Ω system. The device is manufactured on an advanced InGaP HBT MMIC technology offering state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness. APPLICATIONS Dual-...
