| PRELIMINARY PFM21030 SPECIFICATION 2110-2170 MHz, 30W, 2-Stage Power Module Enhancement-Mode Lateral MOSFETs This versatile UMTS module provides excellent linearity and efficiency in Package Type: Surface Mount a low-cost surface mount package. The PFM21030 includes two stages PN: PFM21030SM of amplification, along with internal sense FETs that are on the same silicon die as the RF devices. These thermally coupled sense FETs simplify the task of bias temperature compensation of the overall amplifier. The module includes RF input, interstage, and output matching elements. The source and load impedances required for optimum operation of the module are much higher (and simpler to realize) than for unmatched Si LDMOS transistors of similar performance. The surface mount package base is typically soldered to a conventional PCB pad with an array of via holes for grounding and thermal sinking of the module. Optimized internal construction supports low FET channel temperature for reliable operation.

U.S. Patent No.6,822,321 http://www.cree.com/ Rev. 2 PFM21030 Module Application Notes The PFM21030 was designed to provide a versatile low cost solution for a wide variety of wireless applications requiring 30 Watt peak output levels. This hybrid module contains two stages of Si LDMOS FET amplification: a nominally 5 Watt input stage driving a 30 Watt output stage. The module is optimized for efficient, linear operation with WCDMA signals. The input and output of this module are partially matched, and require source and load impedances of nominally 19 and 21 Ohms (much higher than typically required by unmatched Si LDMOS FETs). These source and load impedances can be achieved with compact conventional external PCB circuitry. Performance for particular signal protocols can be improved slightly by small adjustments in quiescent currents and load impedances presented to the module. The data presented in the previous pages was taken at one set of quiescent currents and in a fixture with source and load impedances that were fixed for all measurements. The data presented is generally representative of the performance- benefits from further optimization in quiescent current are small. In addition to the two RF gain stages, there are Sense FET (thermally tracking) devices that serve as optional DC circuit elements. The Sense FETs are fabricated on the same epi material with nominally identical physical characteristics (but smaller gate periphery) as the RF devices. The sense devices can be applied as temperature compensation elements in conjunction with external bias circuitry. Alternatively, the two-stage amplifier can be operated with the Sense FETs unused (S1 and S2 leads floating). The base of the module is high conductivity copper of 40 mil thickness. It is well matched to typical PCB material, and it serves as a heat spreader for the device when mounted as a surface-mount component. The module thermal characteristics were measured with the unit soldered to a 20 mil thick PCB material with an array of plated via holes for electrical grounding and thermal sinking. IR scans of this configuration demonstrated maximum die channel temperatures of 142 degrees C with a PCB base temperature of +95 degrees C, and 10 Watts CW output power. These modules can be provided in tape-and-reel configuration for high volume application Typical PCB Mounting Pattern The module outline is indicated by dashed line (0.60 X 1.00 inches). The ground pad is 1.030 X 0.630 inches. Ground vias in this example are 28 mil diameter on 35 mil (or 70 mil) centers. Thermal resistance is proportional to the thickness of the PC board (height of vias), and inversely proportional to the total ground hole array periphery (and thickness of plating in the holes). The densely spaced vias in this layout (on 35 mil spaces) are located in areas of maximum heat generation. The gap between the lead pads and the ground pad is 25 mils. Note that the underside of the PCB must be connected to a thermal heat sink and ground. The above hole pattern is an example of one that maximizes thermal transfer. There are numerous alternative approaches. Depending on the application (signal protocol, thermal environment, etc.), the number of via holes can be reduced. High average power applications require the most extensive thermal sinking. Page 6 of 13 Specifications subject to change without notice. U.S. Patent No.6,822,321 http://www.cree.com/ Rev. 2 PFM21030 Recommended Passive Bias Circuit This schematic demonstrates a method of applying the Sense FETs internal to the module that uses passive external circuitry. The circuit maintains a constant current through the Sense FETS, independent of temperature of the die. The Sense FETs are configured in this case as diodes. The temperature dependence of the Vf of the diode is very similar to that of the RF FET gate voltage, and therefore the quiescent current remains nearly constant over a wide temperature range. The advantage of this circuit is its simplicity and stability (avoidance of operational amplifiers) under all layout conditions. The main limitation of the circuit is that quiescent currents must be adjusted for each individual module (they are not easily pre-set with precision). +10 to +20 V Gate GND +27 V J1 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Note: Typical Q1 diode bias = 1.4 mA (VG1 ~ 3.96V) Typical Q2 diode bias = 2.7 mA (VG2 ~ 4.21V) (based on 6/4/04 measurements) C29 C28 C27 S1 C12 C11 C10 R6 S2 R5 C24 C22 C20 C23 C21 C19 C18 C17 C16 Drain 1 C15 R2 C9 C8 C7 R3 RF Input C2 RF Out RF OUT C1 PFM21030 Sense D2 Gate 2 Sense D1 RF IN C4 C3 C5 R1 C6 Page 7 of 13 Specifications subject to change without notice.

Note that an alternative, less complex bias scheme is provided on page 10. The advantage of the above active bias design is that bias currents are set by the RF-to-Sense FET ratios, and once the optimum bias circuit resistor (potentiometer) values are established, the circuit can stay fixed for multiple modules (thus eliminating Page 10 of 13 Specifications subject to change without notice. U.S. Patent No.6,822,321 http://www.cree.com/ Rev. 2 PFM21030 module-specific bias alignment). Additionally, aging effects are minimized because of the similar bias conditions for Sense and RF FETs. The disadvantage of this design is its relative complexity and the incorporation of operational amplifiers, for which stability is potentially circuit layout dependent.

U.S. Patent No.6,822,321 http://www.cree.com/ Rev. 2 PFM21030 Test Fixture Active Bias Circuit Principles of Operation The active bias circuit test fixture operates off of a single voltage supply. It contains two switches and two potentiometers. The switches provide for independent on/off for the input and output devices of the module. The potentiometers allow adjustment of quiescent current level of each stage. The adjustments should be made with no RF applied to the module. Q1 Die Carrier Q1 Input Match Output Match Vsupply S1 R1 < Differental Amp Ids_sense Rbias Ireference Principal of Operation of Bias Circuitry The principal of operation of the fixture bias circuit is demonstrated in the above Figure. The potentiometer establishes a reference current, and the operational amplifier adjusts gate voltage to maintain that current in the sense device. The same DC gate voltage is also applied to the main (RF) device. Sense devices are scaled versions of the main (RF) devices, on the same die (to facilitate temperature tracking). As the temperature of the die changes due to RF drive (or ambient temperature changes), the operational amplifier maintains constant current through the Sense FET, and thus constant quiescent bias for the main (RF) FET. No RF signal is applied to the Sense FET. There is a separate independent bias circuit for the input (Q1) device and for the output device (Q2) of the module. Experience has shown this bias circuit to be a reliable method of maintaining tight control of quiescent current over operating temperature, and for minimizing the impact of device aging effects on amplifier performance. However, there are some precautions regarding use of this circuit. The principle of the circuit is for the differential amplifier (op amp) to adjust gate voltage until the desired current is achieved through the sense FETs. If the current path is interrupted (thereby not allowing Ids_sense to flow), the operational amplifier will increase gate bias in an attempt to increase current, with the possibility that the quiescent bias current in the RF FET may increase beyond a safe limit (the device may be destroyed). The zener diodes in the test fixture circuit (D1 and D2, test fixture schematic) are safeguards for prohibiting excessive gate voltage to be applied to the transistors.
