PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
TheAWT6625 HELP4TM PA is the 4th generation
HELPTM product for UMTS850 (Band 5) and Cell-band
CDMA/EVDO Wireless devices. This PA incorporates
ANADIGICS’ HELP4TM technology to deliver
exceptional efciency at low power levels and low
quiescent current without the need for external voltage
regulators or converters. The device is manufactured
using advanced InGaP-PlusTM HBT technology
offering state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability,
and ruggedness. Three selectable bias modes that
optimizeefciencyfordifferentoutputpowerlevelsand
a shutdown mode with low leakage current increase
handset talk and standby time. A “daisy chainable”
directional coupler is integrated in the module thus
eliminating the need of an external coupler. The
self-contained 3 mm x 3 mm x 1 mm surface mount
package incorporates matching networks optimized for
outputpower,efciency,andlinearityina50Ω system.

Shutdown Mode
Thepowerampliermaybeplacedinashutdownmode
byapplying logiclowlevels (seeOperatingRanges
table) to the VEN, VMODE1 and VMODE2 voltages.
Bias Modes
The power amplier may be placed in either Low,
Medium or High Bias modes by applying the
appropriatelogiclevel(seeOperatingRangestable)
to the VMODE voltages. The Bias Control table below
lists the recommended modes of operation for various
applications.
Three operating modes are recommended to optimize
current consumption. High Bias/High Power operating
mode is for POUT levels > 16 dBm.At ~16dBm - 6
dBm, the PA should be “Mode Switched” to Medium
PowerMode.ForPOUT levels <~6dBm,thePAcanbe
switched to Low Power Mode for even lower quiescent
current consumption.
