PRODUCT SUMMARY
SKY77170 Power Amplifier Module for WCDMA / HSDPA –
Band I (1920–1980 MHz)
Applications
•
WCDMA handsets
•
HSDPA
Description
The SKY77170 Power Amplifier Module (PAM) is a fully matched 10-pad surface mount module
developed for Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) handsets. This small and efficient
module packs full 1920–1980 MHz bandwidth coverage into a single compact package. The
SKY77170 meets the stringent spectral linearity requirements of HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet
Access) data transmission with high power added efficiency for power output of up to 27 dBm. A
directional coupler is integrated into the module thus eliminating 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 SKY77170 PAM is manufactured with Skyworks’ GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT)
process that provides for all positive voltage DC supply operation while maintaining high efficiency
and good linearity. Primary bias to the SKY77170 is supplied directly from any three-cell Ni-Cd, a
single-cell Li-Ion, or other suitable battery with an output in the 3.2 to 4.2 volt range. Power down is
accomplished by setting the voltage on the low current reference pad 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.
