The MWS W-CDMA is a high-
efficiency linear amplifier targeting 3V
mobile handheld systems. The device is
manufactured
in
an
advanced
InGaP/GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar
Transistor (HBT) RF IC fab process. It
is designed for use as a final RF
amplifier in 3V W-CDMA and
CDMA2000, spread spectrum systems,
and other linear applications in the
1800MHz to 2000MHz band.
There are two 16-pin package
versions for this Power Amplifier. One
is a 3mm x 3mm chip scale package
(CSP) with external input/output match
and the other is an internally I/O match-
ed module.

RF input. An external series capacitor is required as a DC block. The input match can be improved to < 2:1 by
using a series capacitor and shunt inductor.
Power supply for first stage and interstage match. V
CC
should be fed through an inductor terminated with a
capacitor on the supply side.
Power supply for Second stage and interstage match. V
CC
should be fed through an inductor terminated with a
capacitor on the supply side.
Supply for bias reference circuits.
First stage control voltage. The VB1 pin can be connected with the other stage control voltages into a single
reference voltage through an external resistor bridge.
Second stage control voltage. The VB2 pin can be connected with the other stage control voltages into a single
reference voltage through an external resistor bridge.
RF Output and Power supply for final stage. This is the unmatched collector output of the third stage. A DC
Block is required following the matching components. The biasing may be provided via a parallel L-C set for
resonance at the operating frequency of 1920MHz to 1980 MHz. It is important to select an inductor with very
low DC resistance with a 1A current rating. Alternatively, shunt microstrip techniques are also applicable and
provide very low DC resistance. Low frequency bypassing is required for stability. There are three pins
designated as RF OUT.
This is a circuit level ground, isolated from the backside ground contact.
Ground for First Stage. This ground should be isolated from the backside ground contact.
Ground for Second Stage. This ground should be isolated from the backside ground contact.
Ground connection. The backside of the package should be soldered to a top side ground pad which is
connected to the ground plane with multiple vias. The pad should have a short thermal path to the ground plane.
