ALM-31322 3.3 - 3.9 GHz 1-Watt High Linearity Amplifier Data Sheet Description Features Avago Technologies’ ALM-31322 is a high linearity 1 Watt PA with good OIP3 performance and exceptionally good PAE at P1dB gain compression point, achieved through the use of Avago Technologies’ proprietary 0.25um GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process. • Fully matched, input and output All matching components are fully integrated within the module. This makes the ALM-31322 extremely easy to use. The adjustable temperature-compensated internal bias circuit allows the device to be operated at either class A or class AB operation. The ALM-31322 is housed inside a miniature 5.0 x 6.0 x 1.1 mm3 22-lead multiple-chips-on-board (MCOB) module package. • High linearity and P1dB • Unconditionally stable across load condition • Built-in adjustable temperature-compensated internal bias circuitry • GaAs E-pHEMT Technology[1] • 5V supply • Excellent uniformity in product specifications • Tape-and-Reel packaging option available • MSL-3 and Lead-free • High MTTF for base station application 3.5GHz; 5V, 413mA (typical) RF_OUT Top View GND 19 GND 18 GND 17 • 13.2 dB Gain VCTRL GND 20 21 22 1 GND 16 2 NC • 47.7 dBm Output IP3 • 31 dBm Output Power at 1dB gain compression 15 3 GND • 51.5% PAE at P1dB 14 4 GND • 2.8 dB Noise Figure GND 13 5 RF_IN GND 12 6 GND Bottom View Notes: Package marking provides orientation and identification “31322” = Device Part Number “WWYY” = Work week and Year of manufacture “XXXX” = Last 4 digit of Lot number 7 GND 8 NC 9 GND GND VDD2 10 11 GND GND GND GND 31322 WWYY XXXX VDD1 5.0 x 6.0 x 1.1 mm3 22-lead MCOB GND Specifications GND Component Image Applications • Class A driver amplifier for WiMAX Base Stations. • General purpose gain block. Note: 1. Enhancement mode technology employs positive gate voltage, thereby eliminating the need of negative gate voltage associated with conventional depletion mode devices.
