MMA20312BT1
High Efficiency/Linearity Amplifier
The MMA20312B is a 2--stage high efficiency, Class AB InGaP HBT amplifier
designed for use as a linear driver amplifier in wireless base station applications
as well as an output stage in femtocell or repeater applications. It is suitable for
applications with frequencies from 1800 to 2200 MHz such as TD--SCDMA,
PCS, UMTS and LTE. The amplifier is housed in a cost--effective, surface mount
QFN plastic package.

REVISION HISTORY
The following table summarizes revisions to this document.
Revision
Date
Description
0
Oct. 2010
 Initial Release of Data Sheet
1
Mar. 2011
 Added “OIP3: 44.5 dBm @ 2140 MHz (W--CDMA Application Circuit)” to Features list, p. 1
 Typical CW Performance table: removed OIP3, p. 1
 Figs. 4 and 12, Test Circuit Component Layout, updated component part layout identifier to reflect package
type. Changed from MMA20312B to QFN 3x3--12B, pp. 4, 8
1.1
Mar. 2011
 Updated device descriptor box to reflect W--CDMA application circuit small--signal gain value, p. 1
1.2
Feb. 2012
 All references to “VCTRL” in the data sheet tables, test circuit schematics and component layouts are
replaced with “VBIAS”. VBIAS is the supply voltage which sets the internal bias conditions via pins 1, 2, and
12, p. 1--3, 5--7, 9. Footnote “(1) VBIAS [Board] supplies VBA1, VBA2 and VBIAS [Device]” added to test
circuit component layouts, pp. 4, 8.
 Fig. 3, Test Circuit Schematic -- TD--SCDMA, Table 7, Test Circuit Component Designations and Values -TD--SCDMA, Fig. 4, Test Circuit Component Layout -- TD--SCDMA, Fig. 11, Test Circuit Schematic -W--CDMA, Table 8, Test Circuit Component Designations and Values -- W--CDMA and Fig. 12, Test Circuit
Component Layout -- W--CDMA: clarified components not placed and components intentionally omitted,
pp. 3, 4, 7, 8
2
Sept. 2014
 Table 2, Maximum Ratings: updated Junction Temperature from 150C to 175C to reflect recent test
results of the device, p. 1
 Added Failure Analysis information, p. 14
