PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AWC6344 is a HELPTM product for CDMA devices operating in AWS/KPCS band. This PA incorporates ANADIGICS’ HELPTM technology to deliver exceptional efficiency at low power levels and low quiescent current without the need for external voltage regulators or converters. The device is manufactured using advanced InGaP HBT technology offering state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness. Two selectable bias modes that optimize efficiency for different output power levels and a shutdown mode with low leakage current increase handset talk and standby time. A “daisy chainable” directional coupler is integrated in the module, thus eliminating the need of an external coupler. The self-contained 3 mm x 3 mm x 1 mm surface mount package incorporates matching networks optimized for output power, efficiency, and linearity in a 50 Ω system.
