CoolPAM
Avago Technologies’ CoolPAM is stage-bypass PA technol-
ogy which saves more power compared with convention-
al PA. With this technology, the ACPM-7357 has very low
quiescent current, and efficiencies at low and medium
output power ranges are high.
Incorporation of bias circuit
The ACPM-7357 has internal bias circuit, which removes
the need for external constant voltage source (LDO). PA
on/off is controlled by Ven. This is digitally control pin.
3-mode power control with two mode control pins
The ACPM-7357 supports three power modes (bypass
power mode/mid power mode/high power mode) with
two mode control pins (Vmode and Vbp). This control
scheme enables the ACPM-7357 to save power consump-
tion more, which accordingly gives extended talk time.
PDF (probability density function) in the Figure 1. showing
distribution of output power of mobile in real field gives
motivation for stage-bypass PA. Output power is less than
16dBm for most of operating time (during talking), so it is
important to save power consumption at low and medium
output power ranges.

Average current & Talk time
Average current consumed by PA can be calculated by
summing up current at each output power weighted with
probability. So it is expressed with integration of multipli-
cation of current and probability at each output power.

Talk time is extended more as average current consump-extended more as average current consump- more as average current consump-consump-
tion is lowered.
