This ANADIGICS PA can be used with an external switch mode power VBATT supply (SMPS) to improve its efficiency and reduce current consumption further at high and low output powers. The device is manufactured on an advanced RFIN InGaP HBT MMIC technology offering state-of-theart reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness. There are three selectable bias modes that optimize efficiency for different output power levels, and a shutdown mode with low leakage current, which VMODE2 increases handset talk and standby time. The selfcontained 3 mm x 3 mm x 0.9 mm surface mount package incorporates matching networks optimized for VMODE1 output power, efficiency, and linearity in a 50 Ω system.

The Bias Control table lists the recommended modes of operation for various applications. 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 VMODE voltages. Three operating modes are available to optimize current consumption. High Bias/High Power operating mode is for POUT levels > 15 dBm. At around 16 dBm output power, the PA should be “Mode Switched” to Medium power mode for lowest quiescent current consumption. The PA should be switched to Low Bias/ Low Power mode at ~<7 dbm. Bias Modes The power amplifier may be placed in either a Low, Medium or High Bias mode by applying the appropriate Vcontrols Venable/Vmode(s) On Sequence Start T_0N = 0µ Rise/Fall Max 1µS Defined at 10% to 90% of Min/Max Voltage Off Sequence Start T_0FF = 0µ ON Sequence OFF Sequence RFIN notes 1,2 VEN VCC note 1 T_0N+1µS T_0N+3µS Referenced After 90% of Rise Time T_0FF+2µS T_0FF+3µS Referenced Before10% of Fall Time Figure 3: Recommended ON/OFF Timing Sequence Notes: (1) Level might be changed after RF is ON.
