Skyworks SKY77606 is a hybrid multimode, multiband Power
Amplifier Module (PAM) that supports 2.5G and 3G handsets, and
operates efficiently in GSM, EGPRS, EDGE and WCDMA modes.
The PAM consists of a GSM800/EGSM900 PA block, a
DCS1800/PCS1900 PA block, separate blocks for WCDMA
operating in low / high bands, a logic control block for multiple
power control levels, and band enable functions in both cellular
and UMTS. RF I/O ports internally matched to 50 Ω minimize the
number of external components. Extremely low leakage current
maximizes handset standby time.
GSM/EDGE: The SKY77606 uses a new compact architecture to
support GSM850, EGSM900, DCS1800 and PCS1900 bands. The
PAM also supports 2.5G Class 12 Enhanced General Packet Radio
Service (EGPRS) multi-slot operation and EDGE linear modulation.
WCDMA: The SKY77606 uses Switched Load Insensitive Power
Amplifier (SLIPA) circuitry to support WCDMA, High-Speed
Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), and High-Speed Uplink Packet
Access (HSUPA) modulations at moderate antenna Voltage
Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). This functionality covers multiple
bands for 3GPP, including bands I, VIII, and operates at different
power modes.
The module is fully controllable via three line logic and bandenable
interfaces. The InGaP/GaAs die and passive components
are mounted on a multi-layer laminate substrate and the
assembly encapsulated with plastic overmold. The SKY77606 is a
compact, low profile, Surface Mount Technology (SMT) package,
which allows for a highly manufacturable, low cost solution.
