This PA is developed for UMTS Band 2 which operates in the 1850 MHz to 1910 MHz frequency band. The RF7206 has two digital control pins to select one of three power modes to optimize performance and current drain at lower power levels. The part also has an integrated directional coupler which eliminates the need for an external discrete coupler at the output. The RF7206 is fully HSDPA and HSPA+-compliant and is assembled in a 10-pin, 3 mm x 3 mm module.

Typical thickness is 3 inch to 8 inch gold over 180 inch nickel. PCB Land Pattern Recommendation PCB land patterns for RFMD components are based on IPC-7351 standards and RFMD empirical data. The pad pattern shown has been developed and tested for optimized assembly at RFMD. The PCB land pattern has been developed to accommodate lead and package tolerances. Since surface mount processes vary from company to company, careful process development is recommended. PCB Metal Land Pattern Figure 1. PCB Metal Land Pattern (Top View) 6 of 8 7628 Thorndike Road, Greensboro, NC 27409-9421 · For sales or technical support, contact RFMD at (+1) 336-678-5570 or [email protected]. DS100805 RF7206 PCB Solder Mask Pattern Liquid Photo-Imageable (LPI) solder mask is recommended. The solder mask footprint will match what is shown for the PCB metal land pattern with a 2 mil to 3 mil expansion to accommodate solder mask registration clearance around all pads. The center-grounding pad shall also have a solder mask clearance. Expansion of the pads to create solder mask clearance can be provided in the master data or requested from the PCB fabrication supplier. Figure 2. PCB Solder Mask Pattern (Top View) Thermal Pad and Via Design The PCB land pattern has been designed with a thermal pad that matches the die paddle size on the bottom of the device. Thermal vias are required in the PCB layout to effectively conduct heat away from the package. The via pattern has been designed to address thermal, power dissipation and electrical requirements of the device as well as accommodating routing strategies. The via pattern used for the RFMD qualification is based on thru-hole vias with 0.203 mm to 0.330 mm finished hole size on a 0.5 mm to 1.2 mm grid pattern with 0.025 mm plating on via walls. If micro vias are used in a design, it is suggested that the quantity of vias be increased by a 4:1 ratio to achieve similar results.
