PRODUCT SUMMARY
CX77314
PA Module for Quad-band GSM850/900 DCS1800 PCS1900 /
GPRS Applications
The CX77314 Power Amplifier Module (PAM) is designed in a compact form factor
for quad-band cellular handsets comprising GSM850/900, DCS1800, and PCS1900
operation. The PAM also supports Class 10 and Class 12 General Packet Radio
Service (GPRS) multi-slot operation.
The module consists of a GSM850/900 PA block and a DCS1800/PCS1900 PA
block, impedance-matching circuitry for 50 Ω input and output impedances, and
interface circuitry. The two separate Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) PA
blocks are fabricated onto a single Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) die. One PA block
supports the GSM850/900 bands and the other PA block supports the DCS1800 and
PCS1900 bands. Both PA blocks share common power supply pins to distribute
current. A custom CMOS integrated circuit provides the internal interface circuitry,
including a current amplifier that minimizes the required power control current
(IAPC) to 10 µA, typical. The GaAs die, the Silicon (Si) die, and the passive
components are mounted on a multi-layer laminate substrate. The assembly is
encapsulated with plastic overmold.

Applications
The RF input and output ports are internally matched to 50 Ω to reduce the

number of external components for a quad-band design. Extremely low leakage
encompassing
current (10 µA, typical) of the dual PA module maximizes handset standby time.
GSM850/900 (Class 4)
The CX77314 also contains band select switching circuitry to select GSM (logic 0)
DCS1800
and DCS/PCS (logic 1) as determined from the Band Select (BS) signal. In the
PCS1900, and
functional block diagram shown below, the BS pin selects the PA output
GPRS (Class 10 and Class 12)
(DCS/PCS OUT or GSM850/900 OUT) while the Analog Power Control (APC) controls
multi-slot operation
the level of output power.
