Description
The SKY77526 TX Front End Module (FEM) is designed in a compact form factor for quad-band
cellular handsets comprising GSM850/900, DCS1800, PCS1900, supporting GMSK and linear EDGE
modulation. Class 12 General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) multi-slot operation is also supported.
The module consists of a GSM850/900 PA block and a DCS1800/PCS1900 PA block, impedance-
matching circuitry for 50 Ω input and output impedances, a multifunction power amplifier control
(MFC) block, low pass harmonic rejection filters, and an SP6T Antenna T/R switch.
Two separate Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) PA blocks are fabricated onto an InGaP die; one
supports the GSM850/900 bands, the other supports the DCS1800 and PCS1900 bands. The InGaP PA
die, the silicon MFC die, PHEMT switch die, and the passive components are mounted on a multi-layer
laminate substrate. The assembly is encapsulated with plastic overmold.
Band select (BS1 and BS2) circuitry is used to select the desired TX and RX frequency bands. MODE
circuitry selects GMSK modulation (logic 1) or EDGE modulation (logic 0). VRAMP controls the output
power for GMSK modulation and provides bias optimization for EDGE modulation depending on the
state of MODE control.
The integrated Multi-Function Control (MFC) provides closed loop power control in GMSK mode,
reducing sensitivity to antenna load, input drive, temperature, power supply, and process variation. In
EDGE mode, the MFC configures the PA for fixed gain and provides the ability to optimize the PA bias
operation at different power levels.
