SKY77326: iPAC™ PAM for Dual-Band GSM / GPRS
Applications
•
Dual-band cellular handsets
encompassing
-
Class 4 GSM900
-
Class 1 DCS1800
-
Class 12 GPRS multi-slot operation
•
High Power Output
-
GSM900 35.0 dBm
-
DCS1800 32.5 dBm
The SKY77326 Power Amplifier Module (PAM) is designed in a low profile (1.2 mm), compact
form factor for dual-band cellular handsets comprising GSM900 and DCS1800 operation. The
PAM also supports Class 12 General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) multi-slot operation.
The module consists of separate GSM900 PA and DCS1800 PA blocks, impedance-matching
circuitry for 50
Ω
input and output impedances, and a Power Amplifier Control (PAC) block
with an internal current-sense resistor. The custom CMOS integrated circuit provides the
internal PAC function and interface circuitry. Fabricated onto a single Gallium Arsenide (GaAs)
die, one Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) PA block supports the GSM900 bands and
the other supports the DCS1800 band. Both PA blocks share common power supply pins to
distribute current. The GaAs die, the Silicon (Si) die, and the passive components are
mounted on a multi-layer laminate substrate. The assembly is encapsulated with plastic
overmold.
RF input and output ports of the SKY77326 are internally matched to a 50
Ω
load to reduce
the number of external components for a dual-band design. Extremely low leakage current
(2.5
µA,
typical) of the dual PA module maximizes handset standby time. The SKY77326 also
contains band-select switching circuitry to select GSM (logic 0) or DCS (logic 1) as
determined from the Band Select (BS) signal. In
Figure 1,
below, the BS pin selects the PA
output (DCS OUT or GSM900 OUT) and the Analog Power Control (VAPC) controls the level of
output power.
VBATT and VSENSE pins connect to an internal current-sense resistor and interface to an
integrated power amplifier control (iPAC™) function, which is insensitive to variations in
temperature, power supply, and process. The PAC ENABLE input allows initial turn-on of PAC
circuitry to minimize battery drain.

Electrical Specifications
The following tables list the electrical characteristics of the
SKY77326 Power Amplifier Module.
Table 1
lists the absolute
maximum ratings and
Table 2
shows the recommended operating
conditions.
Table 3
lists the electrical characteristics of the
SKY77326 for modes GSM900 and DCS1800.
Figure 2
is a
diagram of a typical SKY77326 application.
The SKY77326 is a static-sensitive electronic device and should
not be stored nor operated near strong electrostatic fields.
Detailed information on device dimensions, pin descriptions,
packaging and handling can be found in later sections of this data
