RI23110
CDMA PCS 3–4 Volt Power Amplifier (1720–1910 MHz)
The RI23110 Personal Communications Service (PCS) Power Amplifier is a fully
matched 6-pin LCC surface mount module developed for PCS and wireless local
loop applications. This small and efficient Power Amplifier packs a full 1720–1910
MHz bandwidth coverage into a single compact package. This device meets the
stringent spectral linearity requirements of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
PCS transmission, with high power added efficiency for power output of up to 29
dBm. A single GaAs Microwave Monolithic Intergrated 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 within
the module package to optimize efficiency and power performance into a 50 Ω load.
This device is manufactured with Skyworks’ GaAs HBT process that provides for all
positive voltage DC supply operation while maintaining high efficiency and good
linearity. Primary bias to the RI23110 is supplied directly from a three-cell nickel
cadmium, single-cell lithium ion, or other suitable battery with output in the 3–4
volt range. 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.

Because of its sensitivity to 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 RI23110 is capable of withstanding an MSL 3/225 °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 225 °C. If the part is manually attached, precaution
should be taken to insure that the part is not subjected to temperatures exceeding 225 °C for more
than 10 seconds. For details on both attachment techniques, precautions, and handling procedures
recommended by Conexant, please refer to Application Note: PCB Design and SMT
Assembly/Rework, Document Number 101752. Additional information on standard SMT reflow profiles
can also be found in the JEDEC Standard J–STD–020A.
Production quantities of this product are shipped in the standard tape-and-reel format as shown in
Figure 23.

Electrostatic Discharge Sensitivity

Electrostatic Discharge Sensitivity
The RI23110 is a Class I device. Figure 24 lists the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) immunity level
for each pin of the RI23110 product. The voltages shown in Figure 24 specify the ESD threshold
level for each pin where the I-V curve between the pin and ground starts to show degradation. The
ESD testing was performed in compliance with MIL-STD-883E Method 3015.7 using the Human
Body Model. Since 2000 volts represents the maximum measurement limit of the test equipment
used, pins marked > 2000 V pass 2000V ESD stress.

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 non-functional”. Skyworks employs the most stringent
criteria and fails devices as soon as the pin begins to show any degradation on a curve tracer.
To avoid ESD damage, latent or visible, it is very important that the product assembly and test areas
follow the Class-1 ESD handling precautions listed in Table 9.
