TX Differential Input RF Amplifier 600 MHz to 3000 MHz F1423, Rev O 11/6/2015 1 © 2015 Integrated Device Technology, Inc. G ENERAL D ESCRIPTION The F1423 is a 600 MHz to 3000 MHz TX differential input / single5ended output RF amplifier used in transmitter applications. The F1423 TX Amp provides 13.1 dB gain with +41.8 dBm OIP3 and 5.1 dB noise figure at 2000 MHz. This device uses a single 5 V supply and 120 mA of I CC . This device is packaged in a 4mm x 4mm, 245pin Thin QFN with 50 ohm differential RF input and 50 ohm single ended RF output impedances for ease of integration into the signal5path. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE In typical Base Stations, RF Amplifiers are used in the TX traffic paths to drive the transmit power amplifier. The F1423 TX Amplifier offers very high reliability due to its construction using silicon die in a QFN package. The F1423 includes a broadband differential input to accept AC5coupled signals directly from a balanced modulator or RF DAC architecture. A PPLICATIONS

Note 2: To optimize RF performance, a different output match will be used for each of the 4 RF bands listed (see Table 2). In addition, different value amplifier bias resistors will be used to optimize performance in each of the 4 bands.

• Vcc= 5.0 V
• Tcase = 25 °C (All temperatures are referenced to the exposed paddle).
• Z S = 50 Ohms Differential
• ZL = 50 Ohms Single Ended
• Board configured as defined in Table 2 for each band.
• Pout = 4 dBm / Tone
• 5 MHz Tone Spacing
• EVKIT traces, connectors, and transformer losses are de-embedded.
• S-parameters (S11, S21, S12, and S22) measured using a de-embedded Differential Board EVKit and the inputs are mathematically combined using an ideal 1:1 (50 Ω : 50 Ω) transformer to produce the 2 port S-parameters.
• Amplitude and phase imbalances measures RFIN+ to RFOUT and compares to RFIN- to RFOUT. Phase imbalance is the deviation from an ideal 180 degrees.
• OIP3, Output P1dB and Noise Figure measured using a Transformer Board EVKit. Note: The use of the external transformer T1 is included for simple 2 port evaluation purposes. At some frequencies the external transformer i nteracts with the on5chip balun affecting the gain and noise figure flatness responses. These interactions have been removed from the noise figure TOCs.

Rev O 11/6/2015 19 Zero-Distortion TM , TX Amplifier APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The F1423 has been optimized for use in high performance RF applications from 600 MHz to 3000 MHz. STBY The STBY control pin allows for power saving when the device is not in use. Setting the STBY pin to a logic low, or leaving the pin open, will put the device in normal operation mode. The STBY pin has an internal 1 Meg ohm resistor to ground. Applying a logic high to this pin will put the part in standby mode. Voltage should not be applied to the STBY pin without VCC present. Band_Sel The Band_Sel control pin can be used to adjust the current in the device for Mid Band, High Band, and Wide Band frequency applications. This is done by grounding the Band_Sel pin. Internally there is a 1.5 Meg ohm pull5up resistor. Voltage should not be applied to the Band_Sel pin without VCC present. RBias1 and RBias2 RBIAS1 (pin 14) and RBIAS2 (pin 15) use a single external resistor to ground on each pin to set the DC current in the device and to optimize the linearity performance of the amplifier stage. The resistor values in Table 2 can be used as a guide for the RF band of interest. By decreasing the resistor value to ground on the RBIAS1 pin will increase the DC current in the amplifier stage. The resistor to ground on RBIAS2 is used to optimize the linearity performance in conjunction with the resistor on RBIAS1. Amplifier Stability To ensure unconditional stability the value of R1 should be set to 510 Ohms. This will reduce the RF Gain, OIP3, and OP1dB by approx 0.4 dB. Additionally, shunt resistors to ground of approximately 1k ohm should be connected from pin 1 to ground and pin 3 to ground. This will stabilize the circuit due to common mode source impedances. The installed 1k resistor will add 0.1 dB degradation to the Gain and Noise Figure. The 1k ohm will also dampen any common mode amplitude and phase interactions from the differential source impedance and the F1423 differential input impedance. Power Supplies A common VCC power supply should be used for all pins requiring DC power. All supply pins should be bypassed with external capacitors to minimize noise and fast transients. Supply noise can degrade noise figure and fast transients can trigger ESD clamps and cause them to fail. Supply voltage change or transients should have a slew rate smaller than 1 V / 20 µs. In addition, all control pins should remain at 0 V (+/50.3 V) while the supply voltage ramps or while it returns to zero. Control Pin Interface If control signal integrity is a concern and clean signals cannot be guaranteed due to overshoot, undershoot, ringing, etc., the following circuit at the input of each control pin is recommended. This applies to all control pins 11 and 13. Note the recommended resistor and capacitor values do not necessarily match the EV kit BOM for the case of poor control signal integrity.

Zero-Distortion TM , TX Amplifier 24 Rev O 11/6/2015 EV KIT OPERATION The F1423 EVkits (single ended and differential) have a number of control features available. STBY (2 pin Header J5) Two5pin header J5 can be used to set the part for operational or standby mode. Leaving the two J5 pins unconnected will place it in the operational mode. Connecting the two J5 pins together will pull up the STBY pin to Vcc through R4 and place the part into the standby mode. Band_Sel (2 pin Header J4) Two5pin header J4 can be used to set the part for best operational performance in different RF bands. Based on Table 2 above the Low5Band performance is best with these two J4 pins left open while the other bands typically have these two pins shorted together. RF Band Biasing (RBIAS1, RBIAS2, Band_Sel) Below are 4 settings showing the recommended J4, J7, and J8 jumper connections for best linearity performance in the different RF bands. The jumpers (shown in red below) select the RBIAS1 and RBIAS2 resistor values along with the Band_Sel setting (see Table 2 above). Never have two shunts installed at the same time on header J7 since this may produce excessive bias current and damage the part. Broad-Band Low-Band Mid-Band High-Band
