SKY77350-13 Power Amplifier Module (RAM) is designed in a compact form factor for quad-band cellular handsets comprising GSM850/900, DCS1800 and PCS1900, supporting fixed gain Gaussian Minimum-Shift Keying (GMSK). Class 12 General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) multi-slot operation is also supported. The module consists of GSM850/900 PA and DCS1800/PCS1900 PA blocks, impedance matching circuitry for 50 Q input and output impedances, and a Multi-function Power Amplifier Control (MFC) block. A custom BiCMOS 1C provides the internal MFC function and interface circuitry. Two separate Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) PA blocks are fabricated onto a single InGaP die; one supports the GSM850/900 bands, the other the DCS1800/PCS1900 bands. Both PA blocks share common power supply pads to distribute current. The InGaP and silicon dies and the passive components are mounted on a multi-layer laminate substrate. The entire assembly is encapsulated with plastic overmold. RF input and output ports of the SKY77350-13 are internally matched to a 50 Q load to reduce the number of external components. Extremely low leakage current (15 uA, typical) of the PAM module maximizes handset standby time. The SKY77350-13 also contains switching circuitry to select GSM or DCS/PCS bands and select high or low power modes.
