Silicon Bipolar RFIC 900 MHz Driver Amplifier Technical Data HPMX-3002 Features • RFIC Medium Power Amplifier • 150-960 MHz Operating Range • +22 dBm Typ. PldB , +23 dBm Typ. Psat @ 900 MHz • 50 dB Typ. Power Control Range • 6 V, 160 mA Operation • S0-8 Surface Mount Package with Improved Heatsinking Plastic S0-8 Package Description Hewlett-Packard’s HPMX-3002 is a silicon microwave monolithic integrated circuit driver amplifier housed in a S0-8 surface mount plastic package. It operates over the 150 - 960 MHz frequency range, and at 900 MHz it produces +23 dBm of saturated output power, has 30 dB of small signal gain and a 50 dB power control range. The amplifier has a wellmatched input, and an open collector output which provides good linearity and efficiency and is easy to externally match to 50 Ω for optimal power output. This device is well suited as a driver amplifier for European GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) portable and mobile telephone systems, or as the output stage for other low cost applications such as 900 MHz ISM band spread-spectrum. The HPMX-3002 is fabricated with Hewlett-Packard’s 15 GHz ft ISOSAT-II process, which combines stepper lithography, ion implantation, self-alignment techniques, and gold metallization to produce RFICs with superior performance, uniformity and reliability .

A short path to ground with minimal parasitics must be provided on all ground leads to prevent stability problems. The PC board should be 0.032" or less in thickness. Multiple vias should be placed near the ground leads. Failure to properly ground this device can lead to positive return gain and possible stability problems. We suggest performing a stability analysis using the device s parameters and a description of the inductance of your ground path. A recommended board layout is shown on the final page of this data sheet. Pins 7 and 8 also provide the primary thermal path for heatsinking the device. VCC1 (pin 2): This pin provides the DC bias for the amplifier driver stages, and has an operating range of 4.5 to 6 V (5 V nominal). It should be bypassed close to RFIC body using a 1000 pF capacitor. RFin (pin 4): The impedance of this RFIC is well matched to 50 Ω from 100 MHz to 1100 MHz. Normally, no additional impedance matching is required. S-parameters are provided should the designer need to “fine tune” the input match. Pin 4 must be AC coupled to generator (1000 pF typ. blocking capacitor). The nominal drive level is -6 dBm, and under normal operating conditions should not exceed 0 dBm. Control (pin 5): Applying a DC voltage to this pin adjusts the gain of the last 2 stages of the RFIC over a 50 dB range. Pin 5 has an operational range of 0 to 2.5 V. The power control function is designed for operation in the 800 - 1000 MHz frequency range, and decreases in adjustment capability at lower frequencies – refer to the performance graphs (figure 3). RFout and VCC2 (Pin 6): Pin 6 connects to the open collector of the output stage. A power match is required at this pin. The typical match for operation between 800 and 1000 MHz consists of a shunt L (8 nH typ.) and a series C (27 pF typ.), with the series C also serving as the blocking capacitor. The s parameter data should be used to generate matches for other frequency bands. 27 pF RFOUT (50 Ω) 8 nH VCC2 (4 TO 8 V, 95 mA NOM.) 1000 pF OUTPUT POWER CONTROL VOLTAGE (2.2 V, 2.5 mA TYP.) 8 7 6 5 PIN: 1 2 3 4 TRANSMISSION LINES ARE 50 Ω VCC1 (4 TO 6 V, 65 mA NOM.) 1000 pF 1000 pF RFIN (50 Ω) Figure 1.
