This pin forms the shunt inductance needed for proper tuning of the interstage match. Refer to the application schematic for proper configuration. Note that position and value of the components are important. See pin 3. 2G N D 1 Ground connection for the pre-amplifier stage. Keep traces physically short and connect immediately to the ground plane for best performance. It is important for stability that this pin has it’s own vias to the groundplane, to minimize any common inductance. See pin 1. 3R F I N RF Input. This is a 50Ω input, but the actual impedance depends on the interstage matching network connected to pin 1. An external DC blocking capacitor is required if this port is connected to a DC path to ground or a DC voltage. 4G N D 2 Ground connection for the driver stage. To minimize the noise power at the output, it is recommended to connect this pin with a trace of about 40mil to the ground plane. This will slightly reduce the small signal gain, and lower the noise power. It is important for stability that this pin have it’s own vias to the ground plane, minimizing common inductance. See pin 3. 5V C C 2 Power supply for the driver stage and interstage matching. This pin forms the shunt inductance needed for proper tuning of the interstage match.

A shunt bypass capacitor is required. During normal operation this pin is the power control. Control range varies from about 1.0V for -10dBm to 2.6V for +35dBm RF output power. The maximum power that can be achieved depends on the actual output matching; see the application infor- mation for more details.

Theory of Operation General Purpose Radio Applications RF5110G has seen widespread use in GSM handset applications, but it can also be used as a final transmit PA for general pur- pose radio (FSK, ASK). The application schematics in this da ta sheet outline matching for commonly used frequency bands. Matching is shown for 150MHz, 220MHz, 450MHz, and 865MH z to 928MHz. The standard 900MHz GSM evaluation board can be easily converted for these bands, using the values in dicated. The 865MHZ to 928MHz conversion is the most direct, with adjustment required only on output match. The others show changes at input, 1st interstage, 2nd interstage, and output. Common components can be used in most cases. The only key component is the choke seen on RF output. During develop- ment of the matches, one goal was to achieve st ability (no spurious) into 5:1 output VSWR. The 1 μH value and construction proved essential in achieving this level of stability. This Theory of Operation applies to an open loop system utilizing no power control. In the traditional GSM application, power is sampled at the RF5110G’s output and fed back to a log detect function. DAC voltage (VSET) is also input to the log detector. Log detector output drives the VAPC pin of RF5110G such that output power corresponding to VSET is obtained, with constant input power>0dBm applied. Power can be set over the full range of defined levels, ranging from small signal to compression. In addition, the control loop is used for ramping in accordance wi th GSM specifications. If power control is used in the system under consideration, most of the open loop constraints covere d here will not apply, aside fr om thermal considerations dis- cussed below. When used in an open loop system, RF5110G should be operated in compression. When running small signal, some variation in gain (and therefore output power) will be seen over temperature extremes between -40°C and 85°C. When operated in com- pression, the impact of this variation is substantially mitigated, making open loop application practical. “Compression” in this case is defined where efficiency exceeds 45%. In the graph sect ion of this data sheet, curves in each frequency band are shown for gain/efficiency/junction temperature versus POUT/VCC. As indicated in the graphs, high efficiency can be obtained at compressed output power with appropriate choice of supply voltage (VCC). For example, see the efficiency curves for 450MHz. Operation at 31dBm shows efficiency=49% for V CC=2.8V. If 32dBm output is required in design, using V CC=3.3V gives 4 7% efficiency. So, the system designer can choose an appropriate supply voltage which provides high efficiency at target POUT. One important detail to consider is voltage level at VAPC. As noted earlier, VAPC level varies when operating within a power con- trol loop. This voltage controls output power from the PA. In open loop mode, V APC should be set at 2.8V to ensure consistent output power from RF5110G in volume production. Another design consideration is maintaining acceptable juncti on temperature. In the GSM ra dio, output power in excess of 34dBm is common. This is allowable due to the limit on transm it duty cycle and pulse width. The worst case condition sees duty cycle at 50%, with pulse width equal to approximately 2msec. In this situation, the PA cuts off before junction temperature reaches the maximum that would be seen with longer pulse wi dth. For the non–GSM radio, it is assumed pulse width will exceed 2msec. Thus, restrictions must be imposed on allowa ble maximum output power. The most conservative analysis is used, that for 100% duty cycle. Thermal scans have shown R TH (thermal resistance) of RF5110G+the evaluation board to be 36°C/W. R TH for the evaluation board has been calculated at 10.4 °C/W, giving RF5110G R TH_JC=25.6 °C/W. Data sheet curves show projected junction temperatures (TJ) for each general purpose radio frequency band. RTH of RF5110G+the evalu- ation board is taken into account. A conservative goal is TJ≤150°C when operating at a maximum specified ambient tempera- ture of 85 °C. Maximum output power will then be bo unded by that limit. Observing the T J curves in bands from 150MHz to 928MHz, one sees that 32dBm is always at or below 150°C. This shows that the output load line in each match was intention- ally set for high efficiency. To ensure equivalent performance in one’s system, care should be taken to achieve efficiency equal to or better than that seen in the data. Thermal performance can be predicted with a simple calculation at a desired output power: P_DC=V CCxICC POUT (Watt)=[10^(POUT (dBm)/10)]/1000

This will increase RTH for the system, and likewise TJ. Layout considerations are important in repeating RF5110G evaluation board performance in a system design. Via arrange- ment underneath the part is critical, as are other via arrangements and supply trace routings (see “GSM Applications” section for the GSM case). Layout files for the RF5110G evaluation board can be obtained by contacting RFMD applications/sales. As already stated, output match is a primary consideration in achieving desired performance. In moving from the RF5110G evaluation board to the system board, the first approach would be to implement the same matching topology/values as seen in application schematics. Performance on the system board can then be checked, particularly with regard to gain and efficiency at target output power. If needed, matching values can be ad justed to obtain equivalent performance. Observing each output match from 150MHz to 900MHz, it can be seen th at topology takes 1 of 2 possible configurations: C – L – C: 150MHz, 220MHz, 900MHz L – C: 450MHz Other areas which impact response are the 1st and 2nd interstage matches, found at pins 1 and 5/6, respectively. Small sig- nal responses for each match are shown in this data sheet. Checking response on the system board will verify that input/inter- stage matches are in line (output to some extent as well). Th is verification can be done by placing SMA connectors at the input/output of RF5110G, and observing small signal response. Following the guidelines contained within this section should ensure successful implementation of RF5110G in general radio applications. GSM Applications The RF5110G is a three-stage device with 32 dB gain at full power. Therefore, the drive required to fully saturate the output is +3dBm. Based upon HBT (Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor) techno logy, the part requires only a single positive 3V supply to operate to full specification. Power control is provided through a single pin interface, with a separate Power Down control pin . The final stage ground is achieved through the large pad in the middle of the backside of the package. First and second stage grounds are brought out through separate ground pins for is olation from the output. These grounds should be connected directly with vias to the PCB ground plane, and not connected with the output ground to form a so called “local ground plane” on the top layer of the PCB. The output is brought out through the wide output pad, and forms the RF output signal path. The amplifier operates in near Class C bias mode. The final stag e is “deep AB”, meaning the quiescent current is very low. As the RF drive is increased, the final stage self-biases, causing the bias point to shift up and, at full power, draws about 2000mA. The optimum load for the output stage is approximately 2.6 Ω. This is the load at the output collector, and is created by the series inductance formed by the output bond wires, vias, and microstrip, and 2 shunt capacitors external to the part. The opti- mum load impedance at the RF Output pad is 2.6-j1.5Ω. With this match, a 50Ω terminal impedance is achieved. The input is internally matched to 50Ω with just a blocking capacitor needed. This data sheet defines the configuration for GSM operation. The input is DC coupled; thus, a blocking cap must be inserted in series. Also, the first stage bias may be adjusted by a resis - tive divider with high value resistors on this pin to V PC and ground. For nominal operation, however, no external adjustment is necessary as internal resistors set the bias point optimally. VCC1 and VCC2 provide supply voltage to the first and second stage, as well as provides some frequency selectivity to tune to the operating band. Essentially, the bias is fed to this pin through a short microstrip. A bypass capacitor sets the inductance seen by the part, so placement of the bypass cap can affect th e frequency of the gain peak. This supply should be bypassed individually with 100pF capacitors before being combined with VCC for the output stage to prevent feedback and oscillations.

Bias for the final stag e is fed to this output line, and the feed must be capable of supporting the approximately 2A of current required. Care should be taken to keep the losses low in the bias feed and output components. A narrow microstrip line is recommended because DC losses in a bias choke will degrade efficiency and power. While the part is safe under CW operation, maximum power and reliability will be achieved under pulsed conditions. The data shown in this data sheet is based on a 12.5% duty cycle and a 600μs pulse, unless specified otherwise. +90°C. As the voltage is increased, however, the output power will increase. Thus, in a system design, the ALC (Automatic Level Control) Loop will back down the power to the desired level. This must occur during operation, or the device may be dam- aged from too much power dissipation. At 5.0V, over +38dBm may be produced; however, this level of power is not recom- mended, and can cause damage to the device. The HBT breakdown voltage is >20V, so there are no issue with overvoltage. However, under worst-case conditions, with the RF drive at full power during transmit, and the output VSWR extrem ely high, a low load impedance at the collector of the output transistors can cause currents much higher than normal. Due to the bipolar nature of the devices, there is no limitation on the amount of current de device will sink, and the safe current densities could be exceeded. High current conditions are potentially dangerous to any RF device. High currents lead to high channel temperatures and may force early failures. The RF5110G includes temperature compensati on circuits in the bias network to stabilize the RF transis- tors, thus limiting the current through the amplifier and prot ecting the devices from damage. The same mechanism works to compensate the currents due to ambient temperature variations. To avoid excessively high currents it is important to control the VAPC when operating at supply voltages higher than 4.0V, such that the maximum output power is not exceeded.

The 3dB pad at the input is to minimize the effect on the signal genera- tor as a result of switching the input impedance of the PA. When V APC is switched quickly, the resulting input impedance change can cause the signal generator to vary its output signal, either in output level or in frequency. Instead of an attenuator an isolator may also be used. The attenuator at the output is to prevent damage to the spectrum analyzer, and should be sized accordingly to handle the power. It is important not to exceed the rated supply current and output power. When testing the device at higher than nominal supply voltage, the VAPC should be adjusted to avoid the output power exceeding +36dBm. During load-pull testing at the output it is important to monitor the forward power through a directional coupler. The forward power should not exceed +36dBm, and VAPC needs to be adjusted accordingly. This simulates the behavior for the power control loop. To avoid damage, it is recom- mended to set the power supply to limit the current during the burst not to exceed the maximum current rating. Power Supply 10dB/5W3dB RF Generator Spectrum Analyzer Buffer x1 OpAmp Pulse Generator A buffer amplifier is recommended because the current into the VAPC changes with voltage.

The pocket is designed to hold the part for shipping and loading onto SMT manufacturing equipment, while protecting the body and the solder terminals from damaging stresses. The individual pocket design can vary from vendor to vendor, but width and pitch will be consistent. Carrier tape is wound or placed onto a shipping reel either 330 mm (13 inches) in diameter or 178 mm (7 inches) in diameter. The center hub design is large enough to ensure the radius formed by the carrier tape around it does not put unnecessary stress on the parts. Prior to shipping, moisture sensitive parts (MSL level 2a-5a) are baked and placed into the pockets of the carrier tape. A cover tape is sealed over the top of the entire length of the carrier tape. The reel is sealed in a moisture barrier, ESD bag, which is placed in a cardboard shipping box. It is important to note th at unused moisture sensitive parts need to be resealed in the moisture barrier bag. If the reels exceed the exposure limit and need to be rebaked, most carr ier tape and shipping reels are not rated as bakeable at 125°C. If baking is required, device s may be baked according to section 4, table 4-1, column 8 of Joint Industry Standard IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033A. The following table provides useful information for carrier tape and reels used for shipping the devices described in this docu- ment.
