AWC6325 HELP3ETM Dual-band Cellular & PCS CDMA 3.4 V Linear Power Amplifier Module PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET - Rev 1.3 FEATURES and linearity, which greatly reduces the total current drawn from the battery. This feature, in conjunction with selectable operating modes, enables significant improvements in overall power added efficiency of the AWC6325 across the entire dynamic range of operating powers. APT requires use of an external variable voltage supply (DC-DC converter), which is used to provide the variable voltage to Vcc pad of the amplifier. A low-leakage shutdown mode increases standby time. This PA has built-in directional couplers for each band, with a common coupler output port CPL_OUT. The 3 mm x 5 mm x 0.9 mm surface mount package incorporates matching networks optimized for output power, efficiency and linearity in a 50 Ω system. The device is manufactured on an advanced InGaP HBT MMIC technology offering state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness. • InGaP HBT Technology • High Efficiency: • 37 % @ POUT = +28 dBm • 20 % @ POUT = +16 dBm • 10 % @ POUT = +10 dBm • Low Quiescent Current: 4 mA • Internal Voltage Regulation • Built-in Directional Coupler • Common VMODE Control Line • Suitable for SMPS and average power tracking systems with variable supply voltages • APT can reduce TS.09 average power consumption more than 25% • Reduced External Component Count • Thin Package: 0.9 mm • RoHS Compliant Package, 260 oC MSL-3 APPLICATIONS • Dual-band Wireless Handsets and Data Devices for CDMA/EVDO networks: • Cellular BC 0 and 10 1 14 GND Bias Control Voltage Regulation RFIN_CELL 2 • PCS BC 1 and 14 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION VEN_CELL CPL VMODE1 3 AWC6325 addresses the demand for increased integration in dual-band handsets for CDMA networks. The small footprint 3 mm x 5 mm x 0.9 mm surface mount RoHS compliant package contains independent RF PA paths to ensure optimal performance in both frequency bands in less board area than two single band PAs. The package pinout was chosen to enable handset manufacturers to independently provide bias to both power amplifiers and simplify control with common mode pins. The AWC6325 is part of ANADIGICS’ 3rd generation of High-Efficiency-atLow-Power (HELP3E™) family of power amplifiers, which deliver low quiescent currents and significantly greater efficiency through selectable bias modes for high, medium and low power operation. The AWC6325 is designed for use both with and without average power tracking (APT). APT can be used to optimize the Vcc level for the desired output power level 12 VCC VBATT 4 11 VCCA VMODE2 5 10 CPLOUT RFIN_PCS 6 VEN_PCS 7 05/2012 13 RFOUT_CELL CPL Bias Control Voltage Regulation GND at Slug (pad) Figure 1: Block Diagram 9 GND 8 RFOUT_PCS AWC6325 VMODE1 CPLOUT VMODE2 Figure 2: Pinout Table 1: Pin Description PIN DESCRIPTION 1 VEN_CELL Enable Voltage for Cell Band 2 RFIN_CELL RF Input for Cell Band 3 VMODE1 Mode Control Voltage 1 Battery Voltage 4 VBATT 5 VMODE2 Mode Control Voltage 2 6 RFIN_PCS RF Input for PCS Band 7 VEN_PCS Enable Voltage for PCS Band 8 RFOUT_PCS 9 GND 10 CPLOUT 11 VCCA 12 VCC 13 14 2 NAME RF Output for PCS Band Ground Coupler Output Port Supply Voltage A Supply Voltage RFOUT_CELL RF Output for Cell Band GND Ground PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET - Rev 1.3 05/2012 AWC6325 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS Table 2: Absolute Minimum and Maximum Ratings PARAMETER MIN MAX UNIT Supply Voltage (VBATT, VCC, VCCA) 0 +5 V Mode Control Voltage (VMODE1,2, VEN) 0 +3.5 V RF Input Power (PIN) - +10 dBm -40 +150 °C Storage Temperature (TSTG) Stresses in excess of the absolute ratings may cause permanent damage.

It is important to note that the PCB metal design is dependent upon several factors: the electrical and thermal performance requirements of the product, and the PCB-to-device interconnect pattern. The PCB metal design recommendations primarily deal with the PCB-to-device interconnection. Specific board-level electrical and thermal performance requirements will be dictated by the physical geometry of the specific application and are the responsibility of the end product manufacturer.
