T0905

Features • • • • • • 35 dBm Output Power in CW Mode High Power Added Efficiency (PAE) Single Supply Operation (No Negative Rail) Simple Analog Power Ramp Control Low Current Consumption in Power-down Mode (Typically ≤15 µA) Small SMD Package (PSSOP28 with Heat Slug) Applications • • • • Professional Phones Hands-free Sets ISM Band Application Wireless Infrastructure Preamplifiers Description The T0905 is a monolithic integrated power amplifier IC manufactured with Atmel’s Silicon-Germanium (SiGe) process. Due to its open architecture, the device can be used either as a two or three-stage amplifier. Every stage can be matched individually, thus allowing applications in a wide frequency range. The T0905 can be used from 135 MHz up to 600 MHz in both linear and non-linear (saturated) mode. The power gain can be set dynamically by means of an analog control input optionally for each single stage or for the entire power amplifier. Constant gain mode is also possible. The T0905 is suited for CW mode up to 35 dBm. These features, including wide power ramp control, make the T0905 a very flexible power amplifier for many different applications. Apart from telephone applications, the T0905 can also be used for car identification systems and several other wireless communication systems. The single supply voltage operation at +3.5 V and a negligible leakage current in power-down mode enable a remarkable simplification of the application’s power management. Figure 1.

Recommended Package Footprint Extract from the PCB Showing a Part of the Core Application (Without Components) • • • • Only ground signal traces are recommended directly under the package. Maximum density of ground vias guarantees an optimum connection of the ground layers and the best diversion of the heat. Heat slug must be soldered to GND. Plugging of the ground vias under the heat slug is recommended to avoid soldering problems. 7 4751D–SIGE–05/04 Ordering Information Extended Type Number T0905-TSPH Package PSSOP28 Remarks Lead-free Package Information Package PSSOP28 Dimensions in mm 9.98 9.80 1.60 1.45 0.25 0.64 8.32 28 15 0.10 0.00 3.91 6.02 0.2 2.21 1.80 technical drawings according to DIN specifications 1 7.29 6.88 14 8 T0905 [Preliminary] 4751D–SIGE–05/04 Atmel Corporation 2325 Orchard Parkway San Jose, CA 95131, USA Tel: 1(408) 441-0311 Fax: 1(408) 487-2600 Atmel Operations Memory 2325 Orchard Parkway San Jose, CA 95131, USA Tel: 1(408) 441-0311 Fax: 1(408) 436-4314 RF/Automotive Theresienstrasse 2 Postfach 3535 74025 Heilbronn, Germany Tel: (49) 71-31-67-0 Fax: (49) 71-31-67-2340 1150 East Cheyenne Mtn.
