3V General Purpose/GSM Power Amplifier
Product Overview
The RF5110G is a high-power, high-gain, high-efficiency
power amplifier. The device is manufactured with an
advanced GaAs HBT process. It is designed for use as the
final RF amplifier in GSM hand-held equipment in 900 MHz
band, and General-Purpose radio application in standard
sub-bands from 150 MHz to 960 MHz. An analog on-board
power controller provides over 70 dB range of adjustment.
Which allows for power down with an voltage equals to the
logic “Low” to set the device in standby mode. The
RF5110G RF Input is internally matched to 50 Ω. On its RF
Output, it can be easily matched externally to obtain
optimum power and efficiency for certain applications.

Pad Configuration and Description
Top View
Pad No. Label
Description
1
VCC1
Power supply for the pre-amplifier stage and interstage matching. This pin
forms the shunt inductance needed for proper tuning of the interstage
match. Refer to the application circuit for proper configuration. Note that
position and value of the components are important.
2
GND1
Ground connection for the pre-amplifier stage. Keep traces physically short
and connect immediately to the ground plane for best performance. For
stability concert, this pin requires dedicated ground via holes to the ground
plane to minimize any common inductance.
3
RF IN
RF Input. This is a 50Ω input, but the actual impedance could be affected by
the interstage matching network connected on pin 1. An external DC
blocking capacitor is required.
4
GND2
Ground connection for the driver stage. To minimize the noise power at the
output, it is recommended to connect this pin with a trace of about 40mil
long to the ground plane. This will slightly reduce the small signal gain. For
stability concert, this pin requires dedicated ground via holes to the ground
plane to minimize any common inductance.
5, 6
VCC2
Power supply for the driver stage and interstage matching. This pin requires
a shunt inductance for proper interstage matching. Please refer to the
application schematic for proper configuration.
7, 13
NC
Not connected.
2F0
Connection for the second harmonic trap. This pin is internally connected
to the RF OUT pins. With the bonding wire together with an external
capacitor form a series resonator. It should provide a second harmonic short
termination to improve amplifier efficiency and reduce spurious outputs.
8
9, 10, 11,
RF OUT
12
Interface Circuit
RF Output and power supply for the output stage. Bias voltage for the final
stage is provided through this wide output pins. An external matching
network is required to provide the optimum performance.

Description
14
VCC
Power supply for the bias circuits.
15
APC2
Power Control for the output stage. See pin 16 for more details.
APC1
Power Control for the driver and pre-amplifier stages. When this pin is "low,"
all circuits shut off. A "low" is typically 0.5V or less at room temperature.
A shunt bypass capacitor is required. For a typical power control operation,
the VAPC1 is about 1.0V for -10dBm to 2.6V for +35dBm RF output power.
The maximum power that can be achieved depends on the actual output
matching; see the application circuit for more details.
16
Backside
GND
Paddle
Interface Circuit
RF/DC ground. Ground connection for the output stage. This pad should be
connected to the ground plane by ground via holes directly under the device.
A short path is required to obtain optimum performance, as well as to
provide a good thermal path to the PCB for maximum heat dissipation.
