PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AWT6631 PA is designed to provide highly linear
output for WCDMA, CDMA , LTE and TD-SCDMA
handsets and data devices with high efficiency at
both high and low power modes. This HELP3DCTM
PA can be used with an external switch mode power
supply (SMPS) to improve its efficiency and reduce
current consumption further at medium and low output
powers. A “daisy chainable” directional coupler is
integrated in the module thus eliminating the need
of external couplers. The device is manufactured on
an advanced InGaP HBT MMIC technology offering
state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability, and
ruggedness. There are two selectable bias modes
that optimize efficiency for different output power

APPLICATION INFORMATION
To ensure proper performance, refer to all related
Application Notes on the ANADIGICS web site:
http://www.anadigics.com
Shutdown Mode
The power amplifier may be placed in a shutdown
mode by applying logic low levels (see Operating
Ranges table) to the VENABLE and VMODE1 voltages.
Bias Modes
The power amplifier may be placed in either a Low Bias
mode or a High Bias mode by applying the appropriate
logic level (see Operating Ranges table) to VMODE1.
The Bias Control table lists the recommended modes
of operation for various applications. VMODE2 is not
necessary for this PA.
Two operating modes are available to optimize current
consumption. High Bias/High Power operating mode
is for POUT levels > 16 dBm. At around 17 dBm output
power, the PA should be “Mode Switched” to Low power
mode for lowest quiescent current consumption.

HELP3DCTM
The AWT6631 power amplifier module is based on
ANADIGICS proprietary HELP3DC™ technology.
The PA is designed to operate up to 17 dBm in the low
power mode, thus eliminating the need for three gain
states, while still maintaining low quiescent current
and high efficiency in low and medium power levels.
Average weighted efficiency can be increased by
using an external switch mode power supply (SMPS)
or DC/DC converter to reduce VCC.
The directional “daisy chainable” coupler is integrated
within the PA module, therefore there is no need for
external couplers.
voltage source. The PA is turn on/off is controlled
by VEN pin. A single VMODE control logic (VMODE1) is
needed to operate this device. AWT6631 requires
only two calibration sweeps for system calibration,
thus saving calibration time.
Figure 5 shows one application example on mobile
board. C1 and C2 are RF bypass caps and should
be placed nearby pin 1 and pin 10. Bypass caps
C4 and C5 may not be needed. Also a “T” matching
topology is recommended at PA RFIN and RFOUT
ports to provide matching between input TX Filter and
Duplexer / Isolator.
The AWT6631 has an integrated voltage regulator,
which eliminates the need for an external constant
