RMPA0963 Datasheet Cellular CDMA CDMA2000-1X and WCDMA Power Amplifier Module

Manufacturer: Fairchild (now onsemi)

General Description

The RMPA0963 Power Amplifier Module (PAM) is Fairchild’s latest innovation in 50 Ohm matched, surface mount modules targeting Cellular CDMA/WCDMA/HSDPA, AMPS and Wireless Local Loop (WLL) applications.

Answering the call for ultra-low DC power consumption and extended battery life in portable electronics, the RMPA0963 uses novel proprietary circuitry to dramatically reduce amplifier current at low to medium RF output power levels (< +16 dBm), where the handset most often operates.

A simple two-state Vmode control is all that is needed to reduce operating current by more than 50% at 16 dBm output power, and quiescent current (Iccq) by as much as 70% compared to traditional power-saving methods.
