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.

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 VMODE voltages.
Bias Modes
The power amplifier may be placed in Low, Medium or
High Bias modes by applying the appropriate logic level
(see Operating Ranges table) to the VMODE1, and VMODE2
pins. The Bias Control table lists the recommended
modes of operation for various applications.
