General Description
The CHV2721-QJ is a high linearity single stage class AB
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) power amplifier
capable of 11 dB of gain, 8 Watt of power at 1 dB
compression and is housed in a 6X6mm QFN package. The
CHV2721-QJ provides less than 2.5% EVM at 31dBm output
power with 802.16 OFDM signal and peak to average
power ratio of 9 dB. The input of the device is fully matched
and the output is internally pre matched to 6 ohm
facilitating a simplified output matching approach. This
product operates off a single supply voltage between 5V
and 12V and includes an internal bias circuitry to enable
exact setting of quiescent current using an external control
voltage. The device is ideal as a final or driver stage for
WiMAX equipment in the 3.3 -3.6 GHz bands.

App Note [1] Biasing
- The CHV2720-QJ requires power supply sequencing. Vcc should be applied first and then Vcontrol. Quiescent
current (Icq) can be varied by adjusting Vcontrol in order to obtain the optimum performance desired. RF power is applied after both Vcc
and Vcontrol are present. When turning off the device Vcontrol is switched off first and then Vcc. Vcontrol can be used to turn off the current.
