DATA SHEET CX65105: 1700 – 2200 MHz Linear Power Amplifier Applications • PCS/DCS/UMTS • Repeaters • WLL and ISM bands • Mobile radio • Telematics Description Skyworks CX65105 Power Amplifier (PA) is a fully matched, 8-pin Leadless Chip Carrier (LCC) surface mount module, developed for Personal Communications System (PCS), Digital Communications System (DCS), and Universal Mobile Telephone System (UMTS) applications. Wireless Local Loop (WLL) and Industrial, Scientific, Medical (ISM) applications are also supported. This small, power-efficient PA has a full 1700 to 2200 MHz bandwidth coverage packed into a single compact package. All active circuitry in the module is contained in a single Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit (MMIC). The CX65105 is manufactured with Skyworks Aluminum (Al) GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process, which allows for single supply operation while maintaining high efficiency and good linearity. The 8-pin Leadless Chip Carrier (LCC) device package and pinout are shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 shows a functional block diagram for the CX65105. Signal pin assignments and functional pin descriptions are provided in Table 1.

The input and output stages are independently supplied using the VCC1 and VCC2 supply lines, pins 8 and 4 respectively. The bias reference voltage is supplied using a common VREF (pin 3) line. ensure that the part is not subjected to a temperature that exceeds 300 °C for more than 10 seconds. Care must be taken when attaching this product, whether it is done manually or in a production solder reflow environment. Production quantities of this product are shipped in a standard tape and reel format. For packaging details, refer to the Skyworks Application Note, Tape and Reel, document number 101568. Electrical and Mechanical Specifications The absolute maximum ratings of the CX65105 are provided in Table 2. The recommended operating conditions are specified in Table 3 and electrical specifications are provided in Table 4. Typical performance characteristics over temperature of the CX65105 are illustrated in Figures 3 through 8. Figure 13 shows the package dimensions for the 8-pin CX65105 LCC and Figure 14 provides the tape and reel dimensions. Package and Handling Information Since the device package is sensitive to moisture absorption, it is baked and vacuum packed before shipping. Instructions on the shipping container label regarding exposure to moisture after the container seal is broken must be followed. Otherwise, problems related to moisture absorption may occur when the part is subjected to high temperature during solder assembly. If the part is attached in a reflow oven, the temperature ramp rate should not exceed 5 °C per second. Maximum temperature should not exceed 225 °C and the time spent at a temperature that exceeds 210 °C should be limited to less than 10 seconds. If the part is manually attached, precaution should be taken to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitivity The CX65105 is a static-sensitive electronic device. Do not operate or store near strong electrostatic fields. Take proper ESD precautions.

Typical POUT vs Frequency Over Temperature Evaluation Board Description Skyworks CX65105 Evaluation Board is used to test the performance of the CX65105 PA. The Evaluation Board schematic diagram is shown in Figure 9. The schematic shows the basic design of the board for the 1700 to 2200 MHz range. Figure 10 provides the Evaluation Board assembly diagram. Figure 11 provides the Evaluation Board layer detail. Circuit Design Considerations The following design considerations are general in nature and must be followed regardless of final use or configuration 1. Paths to ground should be made as short as possible. 2. The ground pad of the CX65105 PA has special electrical and thermal grounding requirements. This pad is the main thermal conduit for heat dissipation. Since the circuit board acts as the heat sink, it must shunt as much heat as possible from the amplifier. As such, design the connection to the ground pad to dissipate the maximum wattage produced to the circuit board. Multiple vias to the grounding layer are required. 3. Two external output bypass capacitors (0.01 µF and 4.7 µF) are required on the VCC1 (pin 8) supply input. The same two capacitors are also required on the VCC2 (pin 4) supply input. Both capacitors should be placed in parallel between the supply line and ground. Also, a bypass capacitor of 0.01 µF is required on the VREF input (pin 3). See Figure 9 for a detailed diagram. 4. VCC1 (pin 8) and VCC2 (pin 4) may be connected together at the supply. 5. At the RF input (pin 2), a DC blocking capacitor is required. 6. The RF output includes an onboard internal DC blocking capacitor. All impedance matching is provided internally. Therefore, the application only needs to provide a good 50 Ω load. Testing Procedure Use the following procedure to set up the CX65105 Evaluation Board for testing.
