PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AWC6323 addresses the demand for increased integration in dual-band handsets for CDMA networks. The small footprint 3 mm x 5 mm x 1 mm surfacemount RoHS compliant package contains independent RF PA paths to ensure optimal performance in both frequency bands, while achieving a 25% PCB space savings compared with solutions requiring two single-band PAs. The package pinout was chosen to enable handset manufacturers to easily route bias to both power amplifiers and simplify control with common mode pins. The device is manufactured on an advanced InGaP HBT MMIC technology offering state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness. The AWC6323 is part of ANADIGICS’ High-Efficiency-at-Low-Power (HELP™) family of CDMA power amplifiers, which deliver low quiescent currents and significantly greater efficiency without the need of an external DC-DC converter. Through selectable bias modes, the AWC6323 achieves optimal efficiency, specifically at low- and mid-range power levels where the PA typically operates, thereby dramatically increasing handset talk-time. Its built-in voltage regulator eliminates the need for external switches. 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 1 mm surface mount package incorporates matching networks optimized for output power, efficiency and linearity in a 50 Ω system. 03/2012 VEN_CELL 1 14 GND Bias Control Voltage Regulation RFIN_CELL 2 CPL VMODE1 3 12 VCC VBATT 4 11 VCCA VMODE2 5 10 CPLOUT RFIN_PCS 6 VEN_PCS 7 13 RFOUT_CELL CPL Bias Control Voltage Regulation GND at Slug (pad) Figure 1: Block Diagram 9 GND 8 RFOUT_PCS AWC6323 VMODE1 CPLOUT VMODE2 Figure 2: Pinout Table 1: Pin Description 2 PIN NAME DESCRIPTION 1 VEN_CELL Enable Voltage for Cell Band 2 RFIN_CELL RF Input for Cell Band 3 VMODE1 Mode Control Voltage 1 4 VBATT Battery Voltage 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 RF Output for PCS Band 9 GND 10 CPLOUT 11 VCCA 12 VCC 13 RFOUT_CELL 14 GND Ground Coupler Output Port Battery Voltage A Supply Voltage RF Output for Cell Band Ground Data Sheet - Rev 2.2 03/2012 AWC6323 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, VMODE2) 0 +3.5 V Enable Voltage (VEN_CELL, VEN_PCS) 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.
