DATA SHEET SKY77500 iPAC™ FEM for Quad-Band GSM / GPRS Applications Description • Quad-band cellular handsets comprised of - Class 4 GSM850/900 - Class 1 DCS1800 PCS1900 - Class 12 GPRS multi-slot operation The SKY77500 is a transmit and receive Front End Module (FEM) designed in a low profile (1.2 mm), compact form factor for quad-band cellular handsets comprising GSM850/900, DCS1800, and PCS1900 operation—a complete transmit VCO-to-Antenna and Antenna-to-receive SAW filter solution. The FEM also supports Class 12 General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) multi-slot operation. Features • High efficiency - GSM850 43% - GSM900 43% - DCS 40% - PCS 40% • Internal ICC sense-resistor for iPAC • Closed loop iPAC or open loop operation with external PAC circuit • Input/Output matching 50 ohms internal (with DC blocking) The module consists of separate GSM850/900 and DCS1800/PCS1900 PA blocks, internal circuitry for matching to 50 Ω input and output impedances, TX harmonics filtering, high linearity and low insertion loss PHEMT RF switches, diplexer, and an integrated power amplifier control (iPAC™) function that utilizes an internal current-sense resistor. A custom silicon integrated circuit contains decoder circuitry to control the RF switches while providing a low current external control interface. Two Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) PA blocks are fabricated onto a single Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) die; one supports the GSM850/900 bands and the other supports the DCS1800 and PCS1900 bands. Both PA blocks share common power supply pins to distribute current. The output of each PA block and the outputs to the four receive pins are connected to the antenna pin through PHEMT RF switches and a diplexer. The GaAs die, PHEMT dies, Silicon (Si) die, and passive components are mounted on a multi-layer laminate substrate. The assembly is encapsulated with plastic overmold. Band selection and control of transmit and receive RF signal flows are performed by use of three external control pins. See Figure 1 shown below. Two band select pins select GSM, DCS or PCS modes of operation and the TX_RX pin selects the receive or transmit mode of the respective RF switch (TX = logic 1). Proper timing of the logic on this pin, PAC Enable, and Analog Power Control (APC) allow for high isolation between the antenna and TX-VCO while the VCO is being tuned prior to the transmit burst. The PAC Enable input allows initial turn-on of the PAC circuitry to minimize battery drain. • TX-VCO-to-antenna and antenna-to-RX-SAW filter RF interface • TX harmonics below –33 dBm· • PHEMT RF switches afford high linearity, low insertion loss and less than 20 µA supply current in receive modes • Small outline - 8 mm x 10 mm • Low profile - 1.2 mm maximum • Low APC current: - 20 µA • Gold plated, lead free contacts Figure 1.

Typical Case Markings Package and Handling Information Because of its sensitivity to moisture absorption, this device package is baked and vacuum-packed prior to shipment. Instructions on the shipping container label must be followed regarding exposure to moisture after the container seal is broken, otherwise, problems related to moisture absorption may occur when the part is subjected to high temperature during solder assembly. The SKY77500 is capable of withstanding an MSL 3/250 °C solder reflow. Care must be taken when attaching this product, whether it is done manually or in a production solder reflow environment. If the part is attached in a reflow oven, the temperature ramp rate should not exceed 5 °C per second; maximum temperature should not exceed 250 °C. If the part is manually attached, precaution should be taken to insure that the part is not subjected to temperatures exceeding 250 °C for more than 10 seconds. For details on attachment techniques, precautions, and handling procedures recommended by Skyworks, please refer to Application Note: PCB Design and SMT Assembly/Rework, Document Number 101752. Additional information on standard SMT reflow profiles can also be found in the JEDEC Standard J-STD-020B. Production quantities of this product are shipped in the standard tape-and-reel format.

Figure 7 lists the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) immunity level for each pin of the SKY77500 module. The numbers specify the ESD threshold levels for each pin where the I-V curve between the pin and ground starts to show degradation. ESD testing was performed in compliance with MIL-STD-883E Method 3015.7 using the Human Body Model. If ESD damage threshold magnitude is found to consistently exceed 2000 volts, this so is indicated. If ESD damage threshold below 2000 volts is measured for either polarity, numbers are indicated that represent worst case values observed in product characterization. Various failure criteria can be utilized when performing ESD testing. Many vendors employ relaxed ESD failure standards, which fail devices only after “the pin fails the electrical specification limits” or “the pin becomes completely nonfunctional”. Skyworks’ most stringent criteria fail devices as soon as the pin begins to show any degradation on a curve tracer. To avoid ESD damage, both latent and visible, it is very important that the product assembly and test areas follow the Class-1 ESD handling precautions listed in Table 6. Table 6.

The FEM PA collector current will then be directly proportional to the VAPC input voltage over the range of 400 mV to 2.1 V. To meet the GSM power versus time mask and switching transient requirements the FEM must be provided with a DAC ramp profile on the VAPC input as well as proper timing on digital controls for the PAC circuitry and transmit/receive switches. Note: Please refer to 3GPP TS 51.010-1: Mobile Station (MS) conformance specification. All GSM specifications are now the responsibility of 3GPP. The standards are available at http://www.3GPP.org. Figure 7. ESD Sensitivity Areas (Top View) The SKY77500 has been designed to comply with interface requirements and DAC resolution of leading base band devices. The ramp profile typically consists of a pedestal voltage, 10–16 discrete voltage steps on the rising edge of the burst, a constant region, 10–16 steps on the falling edge, and a final voltage. Typically, the user defines the start, stop, and 10–16 percentage values for each rising and falling edge, which are then applied as discrete voltages at the VAPC input. For the SKY77500, generally the same profile, scaled in amplitude, is used for all frequencies and power control levels. The ultimate purpose is to keep the RF output power ramp within the time mask and to maintain acceptable spectral limits at specified offset frequencies. The VAPC input has an internal reconstruction filter such that external resistors or capacitors are unnecessary on the phone board or the test fixture. Figure 8 represents the dynamic characteristics of the RF output burst power that results from the ramp profile delivered by the DAC to the VAPC input. The transmit power must not exceed the Skyworks Solutions, Inc. • Phone [781] 376-3000 • Fax [781] 376-3100 • [email protected] • www.skyworksinc.com 16 May 16, 2005 • Skyworks Proprietary information. • Products and product information are subject to change without notice. • 103146A iPAC™ FEM FOR QUAD-BAND GSM / GPRS given limits at the time specified relative to the start and end of the data burst. Additional requirements are placed on spectral components generated by switching transients. Ramping at high rates will result in components that violate these spectral limits. A ramp control signal must be applied to the VAPC pin, which results in the desired power ramp response. The log relationship of VAPC to POUT, along with the finite bandwidth and potential slew rate limitations of the feedback loop, results in a complex mapping of the ramp profile to the actual output power. Careful attention is required in generating the input waveform which results in the desired output response. Figure 9 shows an example of the Skyworks FEM test setup for evaluation of RF performance with various ramp profiles. DATA SHEET • SKY77500 Open Loop Control Mode With PAC ENABLE at logic low, the voltage applied to VAPC is buffered and applied directly to the bases of the RF devices. This mode of operation provides backward compatibility with the existing amplifier designs and allows for various test scenarios. As with previous designs, an active clamp acts as a protection mechanism limiting the maximum voltage that can be applied to the base of the RF devices. This clamp voltage decreases with increasing supply voltage. The enable threshold on the VAPC input for open loop operation exhibits a wide tolerance, which may vary from 200 mV to 800 mV. When enabled in Open Loop mode, the internal PAC circuitry (V-I converter and integrator) is placed in standby.
