DATA SHEET AWB7230: 3.40 to 3.80 GHz Small-Cell Power Amplifier Module Applications WiMAX and LTE Uplink Air Interfaces Picocell, femtocell, home nodes Customer premises equipment Data cards and terminals Features InGaP HBT technology 2.5% EVM +29 dBm (OFDMA) 31 dB gain Integrated step attenuator Integrated output power detector High efficiency Low transistor junction temperature Description Matched for a 50 system The AWB7230 is a fully matched, Multi-Chip-Module (MCM) designed for picocell, femtocell, and customer premises Low profile miniature surface-mount package RoHS compliant equipment (CPE) applications. Its high linearity and efficiency Surface-mount (14-pin, 7 7 1.3 mm) package meet the extremely demanding needs of small-cell (MSL4, 260 C per JEDEC J-STD-020) infrastructure architectures. Designed for WiMAX and LTE air interfaces operating in the 3.40 to 3.80 GHz band, the AWB7230 delivers up to +29 dBm of WiMAX power with an TM exceptionally low EVM. The device operates from a convenient Skyworks Green products are compliant with +4.5 V supply and provides 31 dB of gain. all applicable legislation and are halogen-free. For additional information, refer to Skyworks The device is manufactured using an advanced InGaP HBT MMIC TM Denition of Green , document number technology offering state-of-the-art reliability, temperature SQ040074. stability, and ruggedness. The self-contained 7 x 7 x 1.3 mm surface-mount package incorporates RF matching networks optimized for output power, efficiency, and linearity in a 50 system.
