GENERAL PURPOSE AMPLIFIERS
The RF2352 is a low noise driver amplifier for 900MHz CDMA/AMPS applications. The device is designed for operation from 2.7V to 3.6V, and features selectable high and low gain modes. In high gain mode, the device will provide about 19dB of gain, and the linearity and current drain are set with an external resistor, allowing the designer to select the optimum performance for a given application. In the low gain, or “bypass” mode, the gain is controlled by an external attenuator network, and the device draws essentially no current. The part is fabricated using a high performance silicon BiCMOS process, and is packaged in a 4mmx4mm, 16-pin, leadless chip carrier.

Not connected. Provides the bias voltage for controlling the RF amplifier current drain. This pin is typically connected through a resistor to an external regulated power supply. It may be connected to the same power supply as the VCC pin. However, if more bias control is desired, it may be connected to a separate supply. With a series external resistor of 1500 Ω and power supply of 3V applied, the amplifier current drain should be around 14mA. By increasing the resistor, the amplifier current drain may be dropped. Conversely, by decreasing the resistor, the amplifier current may be increased to a maximum of 30mA. Power down function. When 0V to 0.5V is applied, the device is in Bypass Mode: the amplifier is shut off and the MOSFET switches are activated. There is no DC current dissipation in this state. When 1.5V to 3V is applied, the device is switched to High Gain Mode: the amplifier is activated and the MOSFET switches are opened. This is the normal operating mode. Output of the first MOSFET switch. DC-coupled. When the PD pin is grounded (Bypass Mode), the MOSFET switches are shorted, sending any signals at the RF IN pin through the first MOSFET and off the chip. In cases where minimum RF attenuation is desired, this pin should be shorted with 50 Ω microstrip to the ATT IN pin. This setup will yield approximately 4dB of insertion loss. If more attenuation is desired, a resistive pad between the ATT OUT1 and ATT IN pins can be added to the PC board. Not connected. Input to the second MOSFET switch. DC-coupled. When the PD pin is grounded (Bypass Mode), the MOSFET switches are shorted. See the ATT OUT1 pin description for setup options.

Provides the power supply to the logic circuitry on the IC. Amplifier output pin. An open collector output that needs VCC applied to it through an inductor. Typically, a shunt inductor, series capacitor matching network is used to provide a 50 Ω output match. Not connected. Not connected. Amplifier ground. For best performance, keep traces physically short and connect immediately to ground plane. Not connected. Ground connection for die flag. The backside of the package should be soldered to a top side ground pad which is connected to the ground plane with multiple vias.

* R2, R3 and R4 form a "Tee" attenuator network which determines the gain in the bypass mode. Evaluation boards are shipped with R2 and R4 as 0 Ω jumpers, and R3 omitted. This configuration provides the maximum gain (about -4 dB) available in bypass mode. Package base serves as die flag ground. The vias connecting the backside of the board should be large in diameter to allow for easier soldering.
