DESCRIPTION
The BGY284 is a power amplifier module in a SOT775 surface mounted package with a plastic cap.
The module consists of two separated line-ups, one for low band (LB,GSM850/EGSM900) and one for high band
(HB, DCS1800/PCS1900) with internal power detection function, power control loop, input and output matching.
See the simplified internal circuit on page 4.
The power control circuit ensures a stable power output set by the level of VDAC and stabilised to compensate variations
of supply voltage, input power and temperature, with a control range fully compliant with ETSI time mask and power
spectrum requirements

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Operating conditions
The BGY284 is designed to meet the 3GPP TS 45.005 technical specification for the European Telecommunication
Standards Institute (ETSI).
Power amplifier
The low band (GSM850 and EGSM900) and the high band (DCS1800 and PCS1900) power amplifiers both consist of 3
cascaded gain stages. Input and output matching as well as harmonic filters are integrated in the module. The output
power is controlled by means of an internal control signal (generated in the power controller block) that is used to adapt
the biasing of the 3 stages of an amplifier.
For every line-up the power amplifier block generates a detected output power signal, that is an input to the power control
block.
Control logic
In the control logic block the various signals are generated to control the complete BGY284 out of VTXon and Vband, as
indicated in the mode control table. The VSTAB is used as supply for the control logic. When VSTAB = 0 V the BGY284 is
in idle mode and the battery current consumption is almost zero.
The VTXon signal “HIGH” enables the power control block. When Vband signal is “LOW” the low band
(GSM850/EGSM900) line-up is enabled, when the Vband signal is “HIGH” the high band (DCS1800/PCS1900) channel
is enabled.
On both VTXon and Vband inputs there are pull down resistors of approximately 1 MΩ.
Power controller
Main inputs to the power controller block are the VDAC and the internal generated detected output power signals from the
power amplifier block.
The VDAC signal is the reference voltage for the requested output power level, and usualy is generated by an external
digital analog converter.
The VDAC signal is buffered and compared to the detected output power signal. The error signal is then further amplified
by the integrator.
Dependent on the Vband signal one of the integrators are selected. The output of the selected integrator is the internal
control signal that sets the biasing circuits of the selected channel.

DESCRIPTION RAMP-UP
Minimum td1 before VTX on becomes high (control loop becomes active) the VSTAB must be available.
The Vband signal will select the correct transmit channel (LB = GSM850/EGSM900, or HB = DCS1800/PCS1900). The
Vband signal must be at the correct value no later than the rising edge of the VTXon signal.
The VTXon signal going high enables the power control loop. To set-up the right internal biasing conditions and charge
the integration capacitors to the right starting value there is a set-up time of VTXon before the first increase of VDAC.
Before VDAC signal is ramping high there has to be RF power on the input of the selected channel (PD LB,HB).
VDAC has to step up to the voltage level to get the required power level. Sequence of VDAC steps can be chosen to have
approximately a quarter cosine wave ramp-up of PL LB,HB in such a way that there is no violation of the GSM power mask,
and that in the same time there is no violation of the spectrum due to transients.
To avoid violation of the lowest power level in the GSM power mask (indicated by *), the BGY284 has to give sufficient
isolation in following condition: VTXon high, VDAC minimum value, RF power on input of PA.
For GSM850/EGSM900 the system specification for maximum output power level of the handset in this condition is
−36 dBm.
For DCS1800/PCS1900 the system specification in this condition is −48 dBm.
In the handset the antenna switch can still be in Rx mode and therefore still provide isolation between the PA and the
antenna. This situation is accounted in the isolation conditions in electrical characteristics transmit mode.
DESCRIPTION RAMP-DOWN
VDAC will step down from the voltage level for the current power level to offstate. Sequence of VDAC steps can be chosen
to have approximately a quarte cosine wave ramp-down of PL LB,HB in such a way that there is no violation of the GSM
power mask, and that in the same time there is no violation of the spectrum due to transients.
The control loop can be switched off (VTXon signal going to logic 0) as soon as the VDAC has reached the offstate level.
At the same time also the Vband signal is allowed to change polarity and the RF input power (PD LB,HB) at the selected
channel can be removed. Because there is no input power anymore there is no additional isolation specification required
to meet the GSM system specification.
For GSM850/EGSM900 the system specification for maximum output power level of the handset in this condition is
−54 dBm.
For DCS1800/PCS1900 the system specification in this condition is −48 dBm.
td6 after VTXon signal going to logic 0 (control loop is switched off) and all charge in the internal capacitors of the control
loop has been removed the BGY284 can go into idle mode (VSTAB can go to 0 V).

SOLDERING RECOMMENDATIONS
Reflow profile:
The BGY284 is a laminate based PA module in a LGA package. The module can be assembled using a standard SMT
reflow process in a convection or IR-oven.
In the graph below (see Fig.8) the minimum and maximum limits of the temperature profile are given. The actual profile
has to be within these limits, and will depend on the PCB material, the number and size of the components to be
assembled, and the type of solder which is being used.

Fig.8 Recommended reflow temperature profile.
It is recommended to use a standard no-clean solder paste like SnPb (in case of a profile for a lead containing solder) or
SnAgCu (in case of a lead free assembly process). In the table the corresponding values are given for SnPb and for
SnAgCu solder.

PCB layout:
The PCB footprint layout is a copy of the metal pattern on the backside of the LGA package. It is recommended to design
a big ground plane on the PCB, and to make the solder lands of the ground plane solder mask defined. A drawing of the
footprint is included in the “Footprint layout SOT775A” drawing.
Stencil design:
The dimensions of the solder stencil are also given in the “Footprint layout SOT775A” drawing. The recommendation is
based on a stencil thickness of 125 µm. If a thinner or thicker stencil is being used, the dimensions of the stencil apertures
have to be adjusted.
Moisture sensitivity level:
The BGY284 is tested according to the JEDEC standard JESD 22-A113C. The BGY284 is classified on MSL3 for a lead
containing soldering profile with a peak temperature of 240 °C, and on MSL4 for a lead free soldering profile with a peak
temperature of 260 °C.
Rework:
If rework is needed it is recommended to use a BGA rework station with a programmable top and bottom heater. The first
step of the rework process is preheating the PCB with the bottom heater of the rework station. When the board has
reached the preheat temperature then the top heater can be used to increase the temperature above the melting point
of the solder. The component which has to be replaced can be picked up with a vacuum nozzle. Before placing a new
component the remaining solder on the board has to be removed. Fresh solder can be dispensed, a new component can
be placed, and the board can be heated in a similair way as described before.
