The AWC6312R uses ANADIGICS’ exclusive InGaP-Plus™ technology, which combines HBT and pHEMT devices on the same die, to enable state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness. The AWC6312R is part of ANADIGICS’ High-Efficiency-at-Low-Power (HELP™) family of CDMA power amplifiers, which deliver low quiescent currents and significantly greater efficiency without a costly external DAC or DC-DC converter. Through selectable bias modes, the AWC6312R achieves optimal efficiency across different output power levels, specifically at low- and mid-range power levels where the PA typically operates, thereby dramatically increasing handset talk-time and standby-time. Its built-in voltage regulator eliminates the need for external voltage regulation components. The 3 mm x 3 mm x 1 mm surface mount package incorporates matching networks optimized for output power, efficiency, and linearity in a 50 Ω system.

The Bias Control table lists the recommended modes of operation for various applications. Shutdown Mode The power amplifier may be placed in a shutdown mode by applying logic low levels (see Operating Ranges table) to both the VENABLE and VMODE1 voltages. Two operating modes are available to optimize current consumption. High Bias/High Power operating mode is for POUT levels > 16 dBm. At around 16 dBm output power, the PA could be “Mode Switched” to Low power mode for lowest quiescent current consumption. Bias Modes The power amplifier may be placed in either a Low Bias mode or a High Bias mode by applying the appropriate Table 5: Bias Control POUT LEVELS BIAS MODE VENABLE VMODE VCC VBATT CDMA - low power (Low Bias Mode) < +16 dBm Low +2.4 V +2.4 V 3.2 - 4.2 V > 3.2 V CDMA - high power (High Bias Mode) > +16 dBm High +2.4 V 0V 3.2 - 4.2 V > 3.2 V Optional lower VCC in low power mode < +7 dBm Low +2.4 V +2.4 V 1.5 V > 3.2 V - Shutdown 0V 0V 3.2 - 4.2 V > 3.2 V APPLICATION Shutdown VBATT VCC C5 2.2µF RF IN VMODE VENABLE C1 1000 pF GND at slug 1 VBATT VCC 2 RFIN RFOUT 3 VMODE GND 4 V ENABLE GND 5 8 C3 1000 pF 7 6 C6 15 pF C4 2.2 µF RF OUT C2 0.01µF Figure 3: Application Circuit Data Sheet - Rev 2.0 01/2009 5 AWC6312R PACKAGE OUTLINE Figure 4: M9 Package Outline - 8 Pin 3 mm x 3 mm x 1 mm Surface Mount Module 6312R LLLLNN BBBBCC Figure 5: Branding Specification 6 Data Sheet - Rev 2.0 01/2009 AWC6312R COMPONENT PACKAGING Pin 1 Figure 6: Tape & Reel Packaging Table 6: Tape & Reel Dimensions PACKAGE TYPE TAPE WIDTH POCKET PITCH REEL CAPACITY MAX REEL DIA 3 mm x 3 mm x 1 mm 12 mm 4 mm 2500 7" Data Sheet - Rev 2.0 01/2009 7 AWC6312R ORDERING INFORMATION ORDER NUMBER TEMPERATURE RANGE PACKAGE DESCRIPTION COMPONENT PACKAGING AWC6312RM9Q7 -30 °C to +85 °C RoHS Compliant 8 Pin 3mm x 3mm x 1mm Surface Mount Module Tape and Reel, 2500 pieces per Reel AWC6312RM9P9 -30 °C to +85 °C RoHS Compliant 8 Pin 3mm x 3mm x 1mm Surface Mount Module Partial Tape and Reel ANADIGICS, Inc. 141 Mount Bethel Road Warren, New Jersey 07059, U.S.A.
