Bias Modes The power amplifier may be placed in either a Low Bias mode or a High Bias mode by applying the appropriate logic level (see Operating Ranges table) to VMODE1. The Bias Control table lists the recommended modes of operation for various applications. VMODE2 is not necessary for this PA. Two operating modes are available to optimize current consumption. High Bias/High Power operating mode is for POUT levels > 16 dBm. At around 16 dBm output power, the PA should be “Mode Switched” to Low power mode for lowest quiescent current consumption.

The PA is designed to operate up to 17 dBm in the low power mode, thus eliminating the need for three gain states, while still maintaining low quiescent current and high efficiency in low and medium power levels. Average weighted efficiency can be increased by using an external switch mode power supply (SMPS) or DC/DC converter to reduce VCC. The directional “daisy chainable” coupler is integrated within the PA module, therefore there is no need for external couplers. The AWT6634 has an integrated voltage regulator, which eliminates the need for an external constant voltage source. The PA is turn on/off is controlled by VEN pin. A single VMODE control logic (VMODE1) is needed to operate this device. AWT6634 requires only two calibration sweeps for system calibration, thus saving calibration time. Figure 5 shows one application example on mobile board. C1 and C2 are RF bypass caps and should be placed nearby pin 1 and pin 10. Bypass caps C4 and C5 may not be needed. Also a “T” matching topology is recommended at PA RFIN and RFOUT ports to provide matching between input TX Filter and Duplexer / Isolator.
