The SKY77758 Power Amplifier Module (PAM) is a fully matched, 14-pad, surface mount module developed for Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) applications. This small and efficient module packs full coverage for WCDMA Bands I, II, IV, V, VIII into a single compact package. The SKY77758 meets stringent spectral linearity requirements for WCDMA, HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+ transmission with high power-added efficiency. A directional coupler integrated into the module eliminates the need for any external coupler. The single Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit (MMIC) contains all active circuitry in the module. The MMIC contains on-board bias circuitry, as well as input and interstage matching circuits. Output match into a 50-ohm load is realized off-chip within the module package to optimize efficiency and power performance. The SKY77758 PAM is manufactured with Skyworks’ InGaP GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process that provides for all positive voltage DC supply operation while maintaining high efficiency and good linearity. No VREF voltage is required. Power down is accomplished by setting the voltage on VENHB and VENLB to zero volts. No external supply side switch is needed as typical “off” leakage is a few microamperes with full primary voltage supplied from the battery.
