stage Class A/AB amplifier module for use in the driver stages of GSM/
EDGE RF power amplifiers for cellular base stations. The power transistors
are fabricated using Sirenza's latest, high performance LDMOS process.
This unit operates from a single voltage and has internal temperature com-
pensation of the bias voltage to ensure stable performance over the full
temperature range. It is a drop-in, no-tune solution for medium power
applications requiring high efficiency, excellent linearity, and unit-to-unit
repeatability. It is internally matched to 50 ohms.

Description
Module RF input. Care must be taken to protect against video transients that may damage the active devices.
This is the drain voltage for the first stage of the amplifier module. The first stage gate bias is temperature compensated to
maintain constant quiscent drain current over the operating temperature range. Nominally +28Vdc See Note 1.
This is the drain voltage for the 2
nd
stage of the amplifier module. The 2
nd
stage gate bias is temperature compensated to
maintain constant quiscent drain current over the operating temperature range. Nominally +28Vdc See Note 1.
Module RF output. Care must be taken to protect against video transients that may damage the active devices.
Exposed area on the bottom side of the package needs to be mechanically attached to the ground plane of the board for
optimum thermal and RF performance. See mounting instructions in application note AN-060 on Sirenza’s web site.

Note 1:
The internally generated gate voltage is thermally compen-
sated to maintain constant quiescent current over the temper-
ature range listed in the data sheet. No compensation is
provided for gain changes with temperature. This can only be
accomplished with AGC external to the module.
Note 2:
Internal RF decoupling is included on all bias leads. No addi-
tional bypass elements are required, however some applica-
tions may require energy storage on the drain leads to
accommodate time-varying waveforms.
Note 3:
This module was designed to have its leads hand soldered to
an adjacent PCB. The maximum soldering iron tip tempera-
ture should not exceed 700° C, and the soldering iron tip
should not be in direct contact with the lead for longer than 10
seconds. Refer to app note AN060 (www.sirenza.com) for fur-
ther installation instructions.
