TriQuint introduces PA GaAs HBT module for mobile devices
The compact gallium arsenide power amplifier saves board space and enables high levels of integration
TriQuint has released a new quad-band GSM / EDGE power amplifier module with power-added-efficiency (PAE).
Included on a leading chipset supplier’s multi-mode reference design for linear EDGE applications, it is ideal for smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices.
The 5 x 3.5mm module is 30 percent smaller than previous generation products, saving board space and allowing for high levels of integration.
TriQuint says its GaAs HBT / CuFlip PA technology offers reliability, temperature stability and ruggedness.
TQM7M5050
The 14-pin 5 x 3.5 x 0.9mm module is claimed to have excellent Rx band noise sensitivity. It also has an input power controlled GMSK and 8PSK (pre-distortion required in EDGE mode)
The low band and high band operation features two modes – BM and LBM. The PA output power is controlled by the input power coming from the transceiver in both GMSK and 8PSK modes.
The device's built-in CMOS controller is optimised for 50Ω operation.
The TQM7M5050 is in production, and samples are available from the firm's website.
