PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ANADIGICS AWM6433 WiMAX Power Amplifier
is a high performance device that delivers exceptional
linearity and efficiency at high levels of output power.
Designed for portable or mobile applications in the
3.4-3.6 GHz band, it supports the IEEE 802.16e-2005
wireless standard, as well as the IEEE 802.16d-2004
and ETSI EN301-021 standards.
The device requires only a nominal +3.3 V supply and
a low-current bias input. An increase in supply voltage
produces an increase in the maximum linear output
power. The integrated detector can be used to monitor
output power, and the integrated 25 dB step attenuator
enables gain control. No external circuits are required
for biasing or RF impedance matching, thus reducing
external component costs and facilitating circuit board
designs.
The AWM6433 is manufactured using advanced
InGaP HBT technology that offers state-of-the-art
reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness. It is
offered in a 4.5 mm x 4.5 mm x 1.0 mm surface mount
module optimized for use in a 50  system.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Transmit Disable and Attenuator Control
The power amplifier is disabled by setting VBIAS below
+0.7 V. The step attenuator is enabled by applying a
logic high to VATTN; the PA exhibits nominal gain when
a logic low is applied to VATTN.
