The Bias Control table below lists the recommended modes of operation for various applications. Shutdown Mode The power amplifier may be placed in a shutdown mode by applying logic low levels (see Operating Ranges table) to the VEN, VMODE1 and VMODE2 voltages. Three operating modes are recommended to optimize current consumption. High Bias/High Power operating mode is for POUT levels > 16 dBm. At ~17dBm - 6 dBm, the PA could be switched to Medium Power Mode. For POUT levels < ~8 dBm, the PA could be switched to Low Power Mode for extremely low current consumption. Bias Modes The power amplifier may be placed in either Low, Medium or High Bias modes by applying the appropriate logic level (see Operating Ranges table) Table 7: Bias Control POUT LEVELS BIAS MODE VEN VMODE1 VMODE2 vcc VBATT Low power (Low Bias Mode) < + 8 dBm Low +1.8 V +1.8 V +1.8 V 3.1 - 4.35 V > 3.1 V Med power (Medium Bias Mode) > 6 dBm < 17 dBm Low +1.8 V +1.8 V 0V 3.1 - 4.35 V > 3.1 V > + 16 dBm High +1.8 V 0V 0V 3.1 - 4.35 V > 3.1 V - Shutdown 0V 0V 0V 3.1 - 4.35 V > 3.1 V APPLICATION High power (High Bias Mode) Shutdown VBATT VCC C5 2.2 µF C1 0.1 µF GND at slug 1 2 RFIN VMODE2 VMODE1 VEN VBATT VCC RFIN RFOUT 10 C3 33 pF 9 3 VMODE2 CPLIN 8 4 VMODE1 GND 7 5 VEN RFOUT CPLOUT 6 Data Sheet - Rev 2.8 03/2012 C4 2.2 µF ceramic CPLIN Figure 10: Evaluation Board Schematic 8 C2 0.1 µF CPLOUT ALT6701 PACKAGE OUTLINE Figure 11: M45 Package Outline - 10 Pin 3 mm x 3 mm x 1 mm Surface Mount Module Pin 1 Identifier Date Code (YYWW) 6701R LLLLNN YYWWCC Part Number Lot Number Country Code(CC) Figure 12: Branding Specification - M45 Package 9 Data Sheet - Rev 2.8 03/2012 ALT6701 PCB AND STENCIL DESIGN GUIDELINE Figure 13: Recommended PCB Layout Information 10 Data Sheet - Rev 2.8 03/2012 ALT6701 COMPONENT PACKAGING Pin 1 Figure 14: Carrier Tape Figure 15: Reel 11 Data Sheet - Rev 2.8 03/2012 ALT6701 ORDERING INFORMATION ORDER NUMBER TEMPERATURE RANGE PACKAGE DESCRIPTION ALT6701RM45Q7 -40 oC to +90 oC RoHS Compliant 10 Pin 3 mm x 3 mm x 1 mm Tape and Reel, 2500 pieces per Reel Surface Mount Module ALT6701RM45P9 -40 oC to +90 oC RoHS Compliant 10 Pin 3 mm x 3 mm x 1 mm Partial Tape and Reel Surface Mount Module COMPONENT PACKAGING ANADIGICS, Inc. 141 Mount Bethel Road Warren, New Jersey 07059, U.S.A.
