ALM-32120 0.7GHz – 1.0GHz 2 Watt High Linearity Amplifier Data Sheet Description Features Avago Technologies’ ALM-32120 is a high linearity 2 Watt PA with good OIP3 performance and exceptionally good PAE at 1dB gain compression point, achieved through the use of Avago Technologies’ proprietary 0.25um GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process. • Fully matched, input and output All matching components are fully integrated within the module. This makes the ALM-32120 extremely easy to use. The adjustable temperature-compensated internal bias circuit allows the device to be operated at either class A or class AB operation. The ALM-32120 is housed inside a miniature 7.0 x 10.0 x 1.1 mm3 20-lead multiple-chips-onboard (MCOB) module package. • High linearity and P1dB • Unconditionally stable across load condition • Built-in adjustable temperature compensated internal bias circuitry • GaAs E-pHEMT Technology[1] • 5V supply • Excellent uniformity in product specifications • Tape-and-Reel packaging option available • MSL-3 and Lead-free Component Image • High MTTF for base station application 7.0 x 10.0 x 1.1mm3 20-Lead MCOB Package Specifications RF OUT 20 19 1 • 14.3 dB Gain 16 2 • 52.0 dBm Output IP3 15 3 • 34.4 dBm Output Power at 1dB Gain Compression 14 4 13 5 12 6 17 32120 WWYY XXXX 18 11 7 10 Vdd2 Top View 900MHz; 5V, 800mA (typical) Vctrl Vdd1 9 8 Not Used Bottom View Note: Package marking provides orientation and identification “32120” = Device Part Number “WWYY” = Work week and year of manufacture “XXXX” = Last 4 digit of lot number RF IN • 50.3% PAE at P1dB • 2.5dB Noise Figure Applications • Class A driver amplifier for GSM / W-CDMA / WiMAX base stations. • General purpose gain block. Note: 1. Enhancement mode technology employs positive gate voltage, thereby eliminating the need of negative gate voltage associated with conventional depletion mode devices. 2. Good RF practice requires all unused pins to be earthed. Attention: Observe precautions for handling electrostatic sensitive devices.
