This PA incorporates ANADIGICS’ HELP3TM technology to provide low power consumption without the need for an external voltage regulator. The device is manufactured on an advanced InGaP HBT MMIC technology offering state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness. There are three selectable bias modes that optimize efficiency for different output power levels, and a shutdown mode with low leakage current, increase handset talk and standby time. The self-contained 4 mm x 4 mm x 1 mm surface mount package incorporates matching networks optimized for output power, efficiency, and linearity in a 50 Ω system.

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 the VMODE voltages. The Bias Control table lists the recommended modes of operation for various applications. Three operating modes are recommended to optimize current consumption. High Bias/High Power operating mode is for POUT levels > 16 dBm. At ~16dBm - 7 dBm, the PA should be “Mode Switched” to Medium Bias Mode. For POUT levels < ~8 dBm, the PA can be switched to Low Bias/Low Power Mode used for this POUT range for even lower quiescent current consumption.
