This PA incorporates ANADIGICS’ HELP4TM technology to deliver exceptional efficiency at low power levels and low quiescent current without the need for external voltage regulators or converters. The device is manufactured using advanced InGaPPlus TM HBT technology offering state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness. Three selectable bias modes that optimize efficiency for different output power levels and a shutdown mode with low leakage current increase handset talk and standby time. A “daisy chainable” directional coupler is integrated in the module, thus eliminating the need of VBATT 1 RFIN 2 VMODE2 3 VMODE1 VEN 02/2012 10 VCC 9 RFOUT 8 CPLIN 4 7 GND 5 6 CPLOUT CPL Bias Control Voltage Regulation Figure 1: Block Diagram AWT6628A VBATT 1 10 RFIN 2 9 RFOUT VMODE2 3 8 CPLIN VMODE1 4 7 GND VEN 5 6 CPLOUT Figure 2: Pinout (X-ray Top View) Table 1: Pin Description 2 PIN NAME DESCRIPTION 1 VBATT Battery Voltage 2 RFIN RF Input 3 VMODE2 Mode Control Voltage 2 4 VMODE1 Mode Control Voltage 1 5 VEN 6 CPLOUT 7 GND Ground 8 CPLIN Coupler Input 9 RFOUT RF Output 10 VCC PA Enable Voltage Coupler Output Supply Voltage Data Sheet - Rev 2.4 02/2012 VCC AWT6628A ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS Table 2: Absolute Minimum and Maximum Ratings PARAMETER MIN MAX UNIT Supply Voltage (VCC) 0 +5 V Battery Voltage (VBATT) 0 +6 V Control Voltages (VMODE1, VMODE2, VEN) 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.

The Bias Control table below 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 VEN, VMODE1 and VMODE2 voltages. Three operating modes are recommended to optimize current consumption. High Bias/High Power operating mode is for POUT levels > 17 dBm. At ~17dBm - 7 dBm, the PA should be “Mode Switched” to Medium Power Mode. For POUT levels < ~7 dBm, the PA can be switched to Low Power Mode for even lower quiescent current consumption. Bias Modes The power amplifier may be placed in either Low, Medium or High Bias modes by applying the appropriate logic level (see Operating Ranges table) Table 5: Bias Control APPLICATION POUT LEVELS BIAS MODE VEN VMODE1 VMODE2 vcc VBATT Low power (Low Bias Mode) +8 dBm Low +1.8 V +1.8 V +1.8 V 3.2 - 4.35 V > 3.2 V Med power (Medium Bias Mode) > 8 dBm +17 dBm Low +1.8 V +1.8 V 0V 3.2 - 4.35 V > 3.2 V High power (High Bias Mode) > +16 dBm High +1.8 V 0V 0V 3.2 - 4.35 V > 3.2 V - Shutdown 0V 0V 0V 3.2 - 4.35 V > 3.2 V Shutdown VBATT VCC C5 2.2 µF C1 C9 0.01 µF 100 pF GND at slug 1 2 RFIN VMODE2 VMODE1 VEN VBATT VCC RFIN RFOUT 10 9 3 VMODE2 CPLIN 8 4 VMODE1 GND 7 5 VEN CPLOUT 6 Figure 3: Evaluation Board Schematic 5 Data Sheet - Rev 2.4 02/2012 C3 330 pF C2 C4 0.01 µF 2.2 µF ceramic RFOUT CPLIN CPLOUT AWT6628A PERFORMANCE DATA PLOTS: 4: WCDMA Gain(dB) (dB) over over Temperature Figure Figure 4: WCDMA Gain Temperature (Vbatt=Vcc=3.4V) (VBATT = VCC= 3.4 V) 30 5: WCDMA Gain (dB) (dB) over Voltage FigureFigure 5: WCDMA Gain over Voltage ) (TC(Tc=25C = 25 8C) 30 -30C 3.4Vcc 28 26 25C 3.4Vcc 28 90C 3.4Vcc 26 25C 3.4Vcc 25C 4.2Vcc 24 22 Gain (dB) Gain (dB) 24 25C 3.2Vcc 20 18 16 22 20 18 16 14 14 12 12 10 0 5 10 15 20 25 10 30 0 Pout (dBm) 40 Efficiency (%) -30 3.4cc 50 25C 3.4Vcc 45 90C 3.4Vcc 35 15 20 25 30 7: WCDMA PAE(%) (%) over over Voltage FigureFigure 7: WCDMA PAE Voltage 25 8C) (TC =(Tc=25C) 25C 3.2Vcc 25C 3.4Vcc 40 Efficiency 30 25 20 15 25C 4.2Vcc 35 30 25 20 15 10 10 5 0 5 10 15 20 25 5 30 0 Pout (dBm) 5 10 15 20 25 30 Pout (dBm) Figure 8: WCDMA ACRL1 (dBc) over Temperature Figure 8: WCDMA ACLR1 (dBc) over Temperature (Vbatt=Vcc=3.4V) (VBATT = VCC= 3.4 V) Figure 9: WCDMA ACLR1 (dBc) over Voltage Figure 9: WCDMA = 25(dBc) 8C) over Voltage (TCACLR1 -35 (Tc=25C) -30 -40 ACLR1 (5MHz dBc) ACLR1 (5MHz dBc) -35 -45 -50 -30C 3.4Vcc 25C 3.4Vcc -55 -40 -45 -50 25C 3.2Vcc 25C 3.4Vcc -55 90C 3.4Vcc 25C 4.2Vcc -60 -60 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 0 Pout (dBm) 6 10 Pout (dBm) Figure WCDMA PAE PAE (%) Temperature Figure 6: 6: WCDMA (%)over over Temperature (Vbatt=Vcc=3.4V) (VBATT = VCC= 3.4 V) 45 5 Data Sheet - Rev 2.4 02/2012 5 10 15 Pout (dBm) 20 25 30 AWT6628A PACKAGE OUTLINE Figure 10: M45 Package Outline - 10 Pin 3 mm x 3 mm x 1 mm Surface Mount Module Pin 1 Identifier Date Code (YYWW) 6628A LLLLNN YYWWCC Part Number Lot Number Country Code(CC) Figure 11: Branding Specification - M45 Package 7 Data Sheet - Rev 2.4 02/2012 AWT6628A PCB AND STENCIL DESIGN GUIDELINE Figure 12: Recommended PCB Layout Information 8 Data Sheet - Rev 2.4 02/2012 AWT6628A COMPONENT PACKAGING Pin 1 Figure 13: Carrier Tape Figure 14: Reel 9 Data Sheet - Rev 2.4 02/2012 AWT6628A ORDERING INFORMATION ORDER NUMBER TEMPERATURE RANGE PACKAGE DESCRIPTION AWT6628ARM45Q7 -30 oC to +90 oC RoHS Compliant 10 Pin 3 mm x 3 mm x 1 mm Tape and Reel, 2500 pieces per Reel Surface Mount Module AWT6628ARM45P9 -30 oC to +90 oC RoHS Compliant 10 Pin 3 mm x 3 mm x 1 mm Partial Tape and Reel Surface Mount Module COMPONENT PACKAGING ANADIGICS, Inc. 141 Mount Bethel Road Warren, New Jersey 07059, U.S.A.
