DATA SHEET
SKY77148 PA Module for CDMA2000 (450–460 MHz)
Applications
•
Digital cellular (CDMA2000)
•
Wireless Local Loop (WLL)
Description
The SKY77148 Power Amplifier Module (PAM) is a fully matched 7-pin surface mount module
developed for Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA2000) handset and Wireless Local Loop
applications. This small and efficient power amplifier packs full coverage of the 450–460 MHz
bandwidth into a single compact package. The device meets the stringent CDMA2000 linearity
requirements to and exceeding 29 dBm output power. A low current pin (VCONT) provides improved
efficiency for the low RF power range of operation.
The single Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit (MMIC) contains all active
circuitry within the module, which includes on-board bias circuitry as well as input and interstage
matching circuits. Output match into a 50
Ω
load is realized off-chip within the module package to
optimize efficiency and power performance. This device 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 SKY77148 is
supplied directly from a three-cell Ni-Cd, a single-cell Li-Ion, or other suitable battery with a rated
output in the 3.2 to 4.2 volt range. Setting the voltage on the low current reference pin to zero volts
accomplishes power down. No external supply side switch is needed as typical “off” leakage is a few
microamperes with full primary voltage from the battery.
