DATA SHEET CX77144: Power Amplifier Module for CDMA (887–925 MHz) Applications Description • CDMA for Japan The CX77144 Power Amplifier Module (PAM) is a fully matched, 10-pin surface mount module developed for cellular handset applications utilizing Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and Wireless Local Loop (WLL). This small and efficient power amplifier module packs a full 887–925 MHz bandwidth coverage into a single compact package. The device meets the stringent IS95 requirements up 27.5 dBm output power and up to 27 dBm for CDMA2000. A low current digital pin (VCONT) provides improved efficiency for the low RF power range of operation. • Wireless Local Loop (WLL) Features • Low voltage positive bias supply - 3.2 V to 4.2 V • Low VREF - 2.85 V, nominal • Good linearity • High efficiency • Large dynamic range • 10-pin package - 4 mm x 4 mm x 1.5 mm • Power down control The single Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit (MMIC) contains all active circuitry in the module. The MMIC contains on-board bias circuitry, as well as input and interstage matching circuits. The output match is realized off-chip and within the module package to optimize efficiency and power performance into a 50 Ω load. This device is manufactured with Skyworks’ GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process that provides for all positive voltage DC supply operation while maintaining high efficiency and good linearity. Primary bias to the CX77144 is supplied directly from a three-cell Ni-Cd, a single-cell Li-Ion, or other suitable battery with an output in the range of 3.2 to 4.2 volts. Power down is accomplished by setting the voltage on the low current reference pin to zero volts. No external supply side switch is needed as typical “off” leakage is a few microamperes with full primary voltage supplied from the battery. • Low power–state control • InGaP • CDMA2000 / IS95 Figure 1.

Additional information on standard SMT reflow profiles can also be found in the JEDEC Standard J-STD–020. Production quantities of this product are shipped in the standard tape-and-reel format. For packaging details, refer to Skyworks’ Application Note: Tape and Reel, Document Number 101568. Electrostatic Discharge Sensitivity The CX77144 is a Class I device. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) immunity levels for each pin of the CX77144 product are shown in Figure 12, using the Human Body Model, and in Figure 13, using the Machine Model. Figure 10. Pin Names and Configuration (Top View) Various failure criteria can be utilized when performing ESD testing. Many vendors employ relaxed ESD failure standards, which fail devices only after “the pin fails the electrical specification limits” or “the pin becomes completely nonfunctional”. Skyworks employs most stringent criteria, fails devices as soon as the pin begins to show any degradation on a curve tracer. If ESD damage threshold magnitude is found to consistently exceed 2000 volts on a given pin, this so is indicated. If ESD damage threshold below 2000 volts is measured for either polarity, numbers are indicated that represent the worst case values observed in product characterization. Human Body Model (HBM) Figure 11. Typical Case Markings The numbers in Figure 12 specify the ESD threshold level for each pin where the I-V curve between the pin and ground starts to show degradation. ESD testing was performed in compliance with MIL-STD-883E Method 3015.7 using the Human Body Model (HBM). Package and Handling Information Because of its sensitivity for moisture absorption, this device package is baked and vacuum-packed prior to shipment. Instructions on the shipping container label must be followed regarding exposure to moisture after the container seal is broken, otherwise, problems related to moisture absorption may occur when the part is subjected to high temperature during solder assembly. The CX77144 is capable of withstanding an MSL3/250 °C solder reflow. Care must be taken when attaching this product, whether it is done manually or in a production solder reflow environment. If the part is attached in a reflow oven, the temperature ramp rate should not exceed 5 °C per second; maximum temperature should not exceed 250 °C. If the part is manually attached, precaution should be taken to insure that the part is not subjected to temperatures exceeding 250 °C for more than 10 seconds. For details on both attachment techniques, precautions, and handling procedures recommended by Skyworks, please refer to Skyworks’ Figure 12.
