Description
The ACPM-9013 is a fully matched 10-pin surface mount power
amplifier module developed for LTE Band 13 and Band 14. It
meets stringent linearity power up to LTE (MPR=0 dBm)
27.5 dBm. The 2 mm × 2.5 mm form-factor package is self
contained, and it incorporates 50 ohm input and output
matching networks.
The ACPM-9013 features CoolPAM circuit technology that
supports two power modes—low and high. The CoolPAM is a
stage bypass technology that enhances PAE (power added
efficiency) at low power range. The stage bypass feature
enhances PAE further at low output range, and it enables the
PA to have exceptionally low quiescent current. Without a
DC-DC converter, it dramatically saves average current
consumption, extends the talk time of mobiles, and prolongs a
battery life. It can be used with the APT (average power
tracking) operation to reduce the power consumption when
VCC1 is connected to the battery and VCC2 is connected to a
DC-DC converter, which adjusts the VCC2 voltage according to
the output power level.
A directional coupler is integrated into the module, and both
coupling and isolation ports are available externally, which
support a daisy chain. The integrated coupler has excellent
coupler directivity, which minimizes the coupled output power
variation or delivered power variation caused by a load
mismatch from the antenna.
The power amplifier is manufactured on an advanced InGaP
HBT (hetero-junction bipolar transistor) MMIC (microwave
monolithic integrated circuit) technology that offers
state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability, and
ruggedness.
