Power Control VPC Power Control “OFF” Power Supply Power Supply Voltage 5 6 V Supply Current 240 mA Power Down Current 2 10 μA VPC =0.2V Note: For infrastructure class operation, the maximum allowable current over all operating conditions is 260mA. This implies the need for an external active bias control network to control ICC over temperature and normal process variation. A recommended active bias control circuit is included in the datasheet. The maximum continuous allowable dissipated power (ICC *VCC -PRF) for this part is 1.3W. For VCC =5.0V, this implies an ICC limit of 260mA. A VCC of 6.0V would have an ICC limit of 215mA. A constant ICC of 180mA to 220mA provides an excellent combination of high linearity and low power dissipation. Refer to W-CDMA ACP curves at bottom of datasheet. 2-650 Rev A7 060630 RF5187 Pin 1 Function RF IN Description RF input. This input is DC-coupled, so an external blocking capacitor is required if this pin is connected to a DC path. An optimum match to 50 Ω is obtained by providing an external series capacitor of 2.4pF and then a shunt capacitor of 2.4pF. Those values are typical for 2140MHz; other values may be required for other frequencies. Same as pin 1. Power control pin. For obtaining maximum performance, the voltage on this pin can be used to set correct bias level. For low power linear applications, it is recommended that a constant bias control loop be used (see datasheet evaluation board schematic). A voltage of 0.5V or less at VPC brings the part into Power Down State. Power supply pin for the bias circuits. External low frequency bypass capacitors should be connected if no other low frequency decoupling is nearby. RF output and bias for the output stage. The power supply for the output transistor needs to be supplied to this pin. This can be done through a quarter-wavelength microstrip line that is RF-grounded at the other end, or through an RF inductor that supports the required DC currents. Optimum load impedance is achieved by providing a shunt capacitor of 1.8pF and a series capacitor of 3.3pF. Those values are typical for 2140MHz; other values may be required for other frequencies. Since there are several output pins available (which are internally connected), one pin can be used for connecting the bias, another for connecting a (third) harmonic trap filter, and the other pins for the RF output. Same as pin 5. Same as pin 5. Same as pin 5. Ground connection. The backside of the package should be connected to the ground plane through a short path (i.e., vias under the device may be required).
