PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AWU6618 addresses the demand for increased integration in dual-band handsets for WCDMA networks. The small footprint 3 mm x 5 mm x 1 mm surface- mount RoHS compliant package contains independent RF PA paths to ensure optimal performance in both frequency bands, while achieving a 25% PCB space savings compared with solutions requiring two single-band PAs. The package pinout was chosen to enable handset manufacturers to easily route bias to both power amplifiers and simplify control with common mode pins. The device is manufactured on an advanced InGaP HBT MMIC technology offering state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness. The AWU6618 is part of ANADIGICS’ High-Efficiency-at-Low-Power (HELP™) family of WCDMA power amplifiers, which deliver low quiescent currents and significantly greater efficiency without the need of an external DC-DC converter. Through selectable bias modes, the AWU6618 achieves optimal efficiency, specifically at low- and mid-range power levels where the PA typically operates, thereby dramatically increasing handset talk-time. Its built-in voltage regulator eliminates the need for external switches. This PA has built-in directional couplers for each band, with a common coupler output port CPL_OUT. These couplers provide high directivity and 24 dB Coupling. The 3 mm x 5 mm x 1 mm surface mount package incorporates matching networks optimized for output power, efficiency and linearity in a 50 Ω system. 03/2011 VEN_900 1 14 GND Bias Control Voltage Regulation RFIN_900 2 CPL VMODE1 3 12 VCC VBATT 4 11 VCCA VMODE2 5 10 CPLOUT RFIN_IMT 6 VEN_IMT 7 13 RFOUT_900 CPL Bias Control Voltage Regulation 9 GND 8 RFOUT_IMT GND at Slug (pad) Figure 1: Block Diagram AWU6618 VEN_900 RFIN_900 RFOUT_900 VMODE1 VMODE2 CPLOUT RFIN_IMT VEN_IMT RFOUT_IMT Figure 2: Pinout Table 1: Pin Description 2 PIN NAME DESCRIPTION 1 VEN_900 Enable Voltage for EGSM Band 2 RFIN_900 RF Input for EGSM Band 3 VMODE1 Mode Control Voltage for EGSM and IMT Bands 4 VBATT Battery Voltage 5 VMODE2 Mode Control Voltage for EGSM & IMT Band 6 RFIN_IMT RF Input for IMT Band 7 VEN_IMT Enable Voltage for IMT Band 8 RFOUT_IMT 9 GND 10 CPLOUT 11 VCCA 12 VCC 13 RFOUT_900 14 GND RF Output for IMT Band Ground Coupler Output Port Battery Voltage A Supply Voltage RF Output for EGSM Band Ground Data Sheet - Rev 2.0 03/2011 AWU6618 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS Table 2: Absolute Minimum and Maximum Ratings PARAMETER MIN MAX UNIT Supply Voltage (VBATT, VCC, VCCA) 0 +5 V Mode Control Voltage (VMODE1, VMODE2) 0 +3.5 V Enable Voltage (VEN_CELL, VEN_PCS) 0 +3.5 V RF Input Power (PIN) - +10 dBm -40 +150 °C Storage Temperature (TSTG) Stresses in excess of the absolute ratings may cause permanent damage.
