PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
TheAWU6604 HELP3TM PA is a 3rd generation
WCDMA product for UMTS handsets. This PA
incorporatesANADIGICS’ HELP3TM technology to
provide low power consumption without the need
foranexternalvoltageregulator.A“daisychainable”
directional coupler is integrated in the module thus
eliminating the need of external couplers. The
deviceismanufacturedonanadvancedInGaPHBT
MMIC technology offering state-of-the-art reliability,
temperaturestability,andruggedness.Therearetwo
selectable bias modes that optimize efciency for
differentoutputpowerlevels,andashutdownmode
withlowleakagecurrent,whichincreaseshandsettalk
andstandbytime.Theself-contained3mmx3mmx
1mmsurfacemountpackageincorporatesmatching
networksoptimizedforoutputpower,efciency,and
linearity in a 50 Ωsystem.

HELP3
TheAWU6604 power amplier module is based on
ANADIGICS proprietary HELP3™ technology. The
PA is designed to operate up to 17 dBm in the low
powermode,thuseliminatingtheneedforthreegain
state, while still maintaining low quiescent current
andhighefciencyinlowandmediumpowerlevels.
ThePAcan stillbeoperatedas3gainstatedevice
if the customer chooses to. The directional “daisy
chainable”couplerisintegratedwithinthePAmodule,
thereforethereisnoneedforexternalcouplers.
TheAWU6604 has an integrated voltage regulator,
which eliminates the need for an external constant
voltage source. The PA is turn on/off is controlled
by VEN pin.A single VMODE control logic (VMODE1) is
neededtooperatethisdevice.
The DG09 power distribution (gure 15) highlights
theneedtoimprovethecurrentconsumptioninlow
andmediumpowerlevel.TheAWU6604isdesigned
tooperateupto17dBminthelowpowermodewith
verylowquiescentcurrent.Currentconsumptionfor
AWU6604isalsoplottedintheFigure5.
AWU6604 requires only two calibration sweeps for
systemcalibration,thussavingcalibrationtime.
Figure16showsoneapplicationexampleonmobile
board. C1 and C2 are RF bypass caps and should
be placed nearby pin 1 and pin 10. Bypass caps
C9andC5maynotbeneeded.Alsoa“T”matching
topology is recommended at PA RFIN and RFOUT
portstoprovidematchingbetweeninputTXFilterand
