PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AWU6615 addresses the demand for increased
integration in dual-band handsets for WCDMA
networks. The small footprint 3 mm x 5 mm x 1
mm surface- mount 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 AWU6615 is part of ANADIGICS’
High-Efficiency-at-Low-Power (HELP™) family of
WCDMA 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 AWU6615 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. These couplers provide high directivity and
23 dB Coupling. 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, Medium Bias Mode
The power amplifier may be placed in Low Bias mode
or a High Bias mode 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.
