SKYWORKS SKY77331

PRELIMINARY PRODUCT SUMMARY
SKY77331 Power Amplifier Module with Integrated Coupler
for Quad-Band GSM / EDGE
Applications
Description
• Quad-band cellular
handsets:
- Class 4 GSM850/900
- DCS1800
- PCS1900
- Class 12 GPRS multi-slot
operation
- EDGE polar modulation
The SKY77331 Power Amplifier Module (PAM) is designed in a compact form factor for quad-band
cellular handsets comprising GSM850/900, DCS1800, PCS1900, and supports Class 12 General
Packet Radio Service (GPRS) multi-slot operation.
Features
• High efficiency:
- GSM850, 55% (Peak)
- GSM900, 55% (Peak)
- DCS, 52% (Peak)
- PCS, 52% (Peak)
• Integrated coupler
• Wideband envelope control
path
• Input/output matching
• 16-pad MCM
The module consists of a GSM850/900 PA block and a DCS1800/PCS1900 PA block, impedancematching circuitry for 50 Ω input and output impedances, a Power Amplifier Control (PAC) block, and
an Integrated Coupler. A custom CMOS IC provides the internal PAC function and interface circuitry.
Two separate Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) PA blocks are fabricated onto InGaP/GaAs die;
one supports the GSM850/900 bands, the other supports the DCS1800 and PCS1900 bands. Both PA
blocks share common power supply pads to distribute current. The GaAs die, the silicon die, and the
passive components are mounted on a multi-layer laminate substrate with the entire assembly
encapsulated with plastic overmold.
RF input and output ports are internally matched to 50 Ω to reduce the number of external
components for a quad-band design. Extremely low leakage current (10 µA, maximum) of the dual PA
module maximizes handset standby time. The SKY77331 also contains band select switching circuitry
to select GSM (logic 0) and DCS/PCS (logic 1) as determined from the Band Select (BS) signal. In the
functional block diagram (Figure 1), the BS pad selects the PA output (DCS/PCS_OUT or GSM_OUT)
while the Power Control (VPC) controls the level of output power.
The integrated power amplifier control (PAC) function provides envelope amplitude control by reducing
sensitivity to input drive, temperature, power supply, and process variation. The Enable input signal
(pad 1) allows initial turn-on of the PAC circuitry to minimize battery drain.
