ACPM-5040
3 x 3 mm Power Amplifier Module
LTE Band-40 (2300-2400 MHz)
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The ACPM-5040 is a fully matched 10-pin surface mount
Power Amplifier Module developed (PAM) for TD-LTE
Band-40 applications. This power amplifier module operates in the 2300-2400 MHz bandwidth. The ACPM-5040
meets stringent LTE (MPR = 0 dB) linearity requirements
up to 27.7 dBm output power. The 3 x 3 mm form factor
package is self contained, incorporating 50 ohm input
and output matching networks.
x Thin Package (0.9 mm typ.)
The ACPM-5040 features the 5th generation of CoolPAM
(CoolPAM5) circuit technology, which supports 3 power
modes (active bypass, mid power and high power modes)
with 2-bit digital control. The CoolPAM is a stage bypass
PA technology enhancing PAE (power added efficiency)
in the low and medium power ranges. The active bypass
feature is added to CoolPAM-5 to enhance the PAE further
in the low output power range and it enables to have exceptionally low quiescent current. It dramatically saves
the average power consumption and accordingly extends
the talk time of handsets with a given battery capacity.
A high performance directional coupler is integrated into
the module and both coupling and isolation ports are
available to support daisy chain connection for multiband applications. The integrated coupler has excellent
coupler directivity, which minimizes the coupled output
power variation or delivered power variation caused by
the load mismatch from the antenna. The coupler directivity, or the output power variation into the mismatched
load, is critical to the TRP and SAR performance of the
mobile phones in real field operations as well as compliance tests for the system certifications.
Vref and a bias switch are integrated in the ACPM-5040,
so an external LDO regulator and a bias switch transistor are not required. It also makes the PA fully digitalcontrollable by the Ven pin that simply turns the PA

on and off from the digital control logic input from a
baseband chip. All of the digital control input pins such
as the Ven, Vmode and Vbp are fully CMOS logic compatible and “Hi” logic state can operate down to 1.35 V. The
current consumption by digital control pins is negligible.
This power amplifier is fabricated with an advanced InGaP
HBT (hetero-junction Bipolar Transistor) MMIC (microwave
monolithic integrated circuit) process, offering state-ofthe-art reliability, temperature stability and ruggedness.
Absolute Maximum Ratings

PCB Design Guidelines
The recommended PCB land pattern is shown in figures
on the left side. The substrate is coated with solder mask
between the I/O and conductive paddle to protect the

A properly designed solder screen or stencil is required
to ensure optimum amount of solder paste is deposited
onto the PCB pads.
The recommended stencil layout is shown here. Reducing
the stencil opening can potentially generate more voids.
On the other hand, stencil openings larger than 100% will
lead to excessive solder paste smear or bridging across the
I/O pads or conductive paddle to adjacent I/O pads. Considering the fact that solder paste thickness will directly
affect the quality of the solder joint, a good choice is to
use laser cut stencil composed of 0.100 mm (4 mils) or
0.127 mm (5 mils) thick stainless steel which is capable of
producing the required fine stencil outline.

Handling and Storage
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
Electrostatic discharge occurs naturally in the environment. With the increase in voltage potential, the outlet of
neutralization or discharge will be sought. If the acquired
discharge route is through a semiconductor device,
destructive damage will result.
ESD countermeasure methods should be developed and
used to control potential ESD damage during handling in
a factory environment at each manufacturing site.
MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level)
Plastic encapsulated surface mount package is sensitive to
damage induced by absorbed moisture and temperature.
Avago Technologies follows JEDEC Standard J-STD 020B.
Each component and package type is classified for
moisture sensitivity by soaking a known dry package at
various temperatures and relative humidity, and times.
After soak, the components are subjected to three consecutive simulated reflows.
The out of bag exposure time maximum limits are determined by the classification test describe below which corresponds to a MSL classification level 6 to 1 according to
the JEDEC standard IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B and J-STD-033.
ACPM-5040 is MSL3. Thus, according to the J-STD-033
p.11 the maximum Manufacturers Exposure Time (MET)
for this part is 168 hours. After this time period, the part
would need to be removed from the reel, de-taped and
then re-baked. MSL classification reflow temperature for
the ACPM-5040 is targeted at 260° C +0/-5° C. Figure and
table on next page show typical SMT profile for maximum
temperature of 260 +0/-5° C.

Storage Condition
Removal for Failure Analysis
Packages described in this document must be stored
in sealed moisture barrier, antistatic bags. Shelf life in a
sealed moisture barrier bag is 12 months at < 40° C and
90% relative humidity (RH) J-STD-033 p.7.
Not following the above requirements may cause moisture/
reflow damage that could hinder or completely prevent
the determination of the original failure mechanism.
Baking of Populated Boards
Out-of-Bag Time Duration
After unpacking the device must be soldered to the PCB
within 168 hours as listed in the J-STD-020B p.11 with
factory conditions < 30° C and 60% RH.
Baking
It is not necessary to re-bake the part if both conditions
(storage conditions and out-of bag conditions) have been
satisfied. Baking must be done if at least one of the conditions above have not been satisfied. The baking conditions are 125° C for 12 hours J-STD-033 p.8.
CAUTION
Tape and reel materials typically cannot be baked at the
temperature described above. If out-of-bag exposure
time is exceeded, parts must be baked for a longer time
at low temperatures, or the parts must be de-reeled,
de-taped, re-baked and then put back on tape and reel.
(See moisture sensitive warning label on each shipping
bag for information of baking).
Board Rework
Component Removal, Rework and Remount
If a component is to be removed from the board, it is
recommended that localized heating be used and the
maximum body temperatures of any surface mount
component on the board not exceed 200° C. This method
will minimize moisture related component damage. If any
component temperature exceeds 200° C, the board must
be baked dry per 4-2 prior to rework and/or component
removal. Component temperatures shall be measured at
the top center of the package body. Any SMD packages
that have not exceeded their floor life can be exposed to
a maximum body temperature as high as their specified
maximum reflow temperature.
Some SMD packages and board materials are not able to
withstand long duration bakes at 125° C. Examples of this
are some FR-4 materials, which cannot withstand a 24 hr
bake at 125° C. Batteries and electrolytic capacitors are
also temperature sensitive. With component and board
temperature restrictions in mind, choose a bake temperature from Table 4-1 in J-STD 033; then determine the
appropriate bake duration based on the component to be
removed. For additional considerations see IPC-7711 and
IPC-7721.
Derating due to Factory Environmental Conditions
Factory floor life exposures for SMD packages removed
from the dry bags will be a function of the ambient environmental conditions. A safe, yet conservative, handling
approach is to expose the SMD packages only up to the
maximum time limits for each moisture sensitivity level
as shown in next table. This approach, however, does not
work if the factory humidity or temperature is greater
than the testing conditions of 30° C/60% RH. A solution
for addressing this problem is to derate the exposure
times based on the knowledge of moisture diffusion in
the component package materials ref. JESD22-A120).
Recommended equivalent total floor life exposures can
be estimated for a range of humidities and temperatures
based on the nominal plastic thickness for each device.
Table on next page lists equivalent derated floor lives for
humidities ranging from 20-90% RH for three temperature, 20° C, 25° C, and 30° C.
Table on next page is applicable to SMDs molded
with novolac, biphenyl or multifunctional epoxy mold
compounds. The following assumptions were used in
calculating this table:
1. Activation Energy for diffusion = 0.35eV (smallest
known value).
2. For ≤ 60% RH, use Diffusivity = 0.121exp (-0.35eV/kT)
mm2/s (this used smallest known Diffusivity @ 30° C).
3. For > 60% RH, use Diffusivity = 1.320exp (-0.35eV/kT)
mm2/s (this used largest known Diffusivity @ 30° C).
