The CPM1530-PM is packaged in a low-cost, space
efficient, matched module that provides excellent electrical
stability and low thermal resistance. The part requires no
external matching and a fixed negative voltage significantly
reducing space and cost and enhancing ease of use.
This device is unconditionally stable under all source
and load impedances.

Application Information
The CPM1530-PM is a three stage amplifier that requires
positive and negative supply voltages for proper operation. It
is essential when turning on the device that the negative sup-
ply be applied before the positive supply. When turning the
device off, the positive supply should be removed before the
negative supply is removed.
The CPM1530-PM can be operated over a range of sup-
ply voltages and bias points. It is important that the maximum
power dissipation of the package be observed at all times and
that the maximum voltage across the device is not exceeded.
accomplished via a fixed -2.5 V to pin 6. The positive supply
voltages are applied to pins 2 and 3. Bypass decoupling is pro-
vided on-board.
The recommended DC by-pass capacitance and low-pass
in-line inductance are shown in the evaluation board on Page 4.
Inadequate by-pass capacitance and inductance around the
DC supply lines can compromise the adjacent channel power
ratio (ACPR), reduce power gain and/or create oscillations.
Supply Ramping
To obtain power ramping, gate supply con-
trol is recommended.
Mode Switching
If further efficiency is required at lower
power levels, then an adjustment of the fixed Vgg can be made.

Circuit Design Considerations
Biasing
A negative gate voltage is necessary to set the bias
currents of the three FET stages in the CPM1530-PM. This is

Modulation
When biased as specified, the CPM1530-PM
will achieve the required adjacent channel response for the
digital PCS system specified. Celeritek tests each product
under digital modulation to ensure correlation to customer
applications.

1. The ground pad on the backside of the CPM1530-PM must
be soldered to the ground plane.
2. All 12 leads of the package must be soldered to the appro-
priate electrical connection.
