Description
The XP1044 is a highly linear 2-stage power
amplifier capable of 18.5 dB of gain, 34 dBm of
power at 1 dB compression and is housed in an
RoHS compliant 7 mm package. The XP1044
provides less than 2.5% EVM at 26 dBm output
power with 802.16 OFDM signal and peak to
average ratio 9.17 dB. The input and output of the
device are internally pre-matched facilitating a
simplified input and output match. This product
operates off an 8 V voltage supply and requires
negative voltage which is used for current control.
The XP1044-QL is specifically designed for WiMAX
applications between 4.9 GHz and 5.9 GHz, and the
performance can be shifted by adding external
matching components to cover applications between
4 GHz and 5 GHz.

3. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these survivability limits.
4. Calculate maximum operating backside temperature using: Tmax = 167°C – [VD*IDD2*RTH]. Thermal resistance of the 1st stage is 2x RTH of
the output stage, and therefore IDD1 must not exceed ½ IDD2 for a specific maximum temperature.
5. Thermal resistance of stage 2 only.

App Note [1] Biasing -
Handling Procedures
The XP1044-QL requires power supply sequencing.
Negative voltage supply (VG) needs to be turned on
first and then positive voltage can be applied to the
drain (VD). When turning off the device, the positive
supply (VD) should be turned off first and then
negative voltage (VG) can be removed.
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
The gate voltage is adjusted in order to set the drain
current to the desired level. The gate voltage
required to achieve a certain current can vary over
temperature and from one device to another due to
pinch-off voltage variation. Constant drain current
can be achieved by implementing an active bias
circuit which allows for temperature compensation
and eliminates the effect of pinch off voltage
variation.
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged
by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques
should be used when handling these class 2
devices.
The input stage transistor periphery is half of the
output stage transistor periphery and therefore the
gate voltages needed to set the first stage current to
300 mA and the second stage current to 600 mA are
the same. The gate voltages can be connected
together and a single active bias circuit can be
implemented adding a total of 6 components.
