AWT6111
CDMA/AMPS Power Amplifier
Application Note - Rev 0
General Description
The AWT6111 is a hetero-junction bipolar transistor (HBT) amplifier designed for the CDMA cellular handset. The frequency band of operation is 824-849 MHz. The AWT6111 is designed to operate from a single lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery. The amplifier input and output are matched to provide optimum performance in a 50 system. Minimal external components are required for proper RF bypassing. The tantalum capacitors, C8 and C9, are not required. Landings should be made available on the printed circuit board (PCB) as a precaution.

AWT6111 Minimum Bench Requirements The following minimum equipment is required for proper power amplifier operation. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Spectrum Analyzer Three power supplies CDMA function generator RF filter (Surface Acoustic Wave-SAW) Isolator RF power meter Coupler(s) Other Recommendations In order to maximize performance in a CDMA system, the AWT6111 achieves full output power (+28.5dBm in digital mode and +31dBm in analog mode) while operating in low power mode. This minimizes quiescent current (47 mA typical) and eliminates the need for mode switching between high and low power or between analog and digital modes of operation. Applying logic low (0 V) to both VREF and VMODE pins, places the amplifier in shutdown (standby) mode. To minimize external switch requirements, the VREF and VMODE lines can be tied together. IMODE is only ~300 uA, therefore tying it to the VREF line doesn't significantly increase the current requirements on the switched line.
Turn On Procedures Upon receiving the amplifier, the characterization sheet should be reviewed for the appropriate bias conditions. Review the evaluation board drawing prior to connection of the proper bias pins on the application board. 1. Be sure to connect the amplifier to 50 RF in/ out cables. 2. No RF power should be applied to the amplifier prior to biasing. 3. Attach VCC1 and VCC2 first; then VREF and VMODE. 4. Turn the VREF supply to +2.85 V. Observe current draw of approximately 5 mA. 5. Turn on the VCC1 and VCC2 supply to +3.5 V. Observe current of ~100 mA from VCC supply. 6. Turn on RF power applying +5 dBm. Gradually increase until the appropriate power level is obtained from the output (28.5 - 29 dBm in digital mode, 31 dBm in analog mode). 7. Perform measurements. Layout Considerations A sufficient number of holes (QTY 12 - 0.2mm diameter plated through hole) should be placed under the module in order to channel the heat properly. In addition, contact should be made between the PA slug located under the amplifier and the board. For hand assembly of the board, place sufficient bonding paste so that contact is made between the PA and ground. For large volume assembly, please refer to the solder profile recommendations application note. For RF in and out provide 50 transmission lines.
