Description
Avago Technologies MGA-23003 linear power ampli er is
designed for mobile and  xed wireless data applications
in the 3.3 to 3.8 GHz frequency ranges. The PA is optimized
for IEEE 802.16 WiMAX modulation but can be used for
any high linearity applications. The PA exhibits  at gain
and good match while providing linear power e ciency
to meet stringent mask conditions. It utilizes Avago Tech-
nologies proprietary GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT
technology for superior performance across voltage and
temperature levels.
The MGA-23003 is packaged in a 3x3x1 mm size for space-
constrained applications.

3.3V Example :
R2
VBCTRL = *VBATT
R1 + R2
40K
2.8V = *3.3V
R1 + 40K
R1 = 7K
R2 = 40K
Given :
VBCTRL = 2.8V
VBAT = 3.3V
R2 = 40K
R1 = ?
5.0V Example :
R2
VBCTRL = *VBATT
R1 + R2
20K
2.0V = *5.0V
R1 + 20K
R1 = 30K
R2 = 20K
Given :
VBCTRL = 2.0V
VBAT = 5.0V
R2 = 20K
R1 = ?
Notes: BCTRL regulates the device current, thus R1 and R2 should have
good tolerance rating. If available, a voltage regulator is the preferred
method of bias.
In this example we set R2 at 40KOhm and solve for R1 with simple
voltage divider equation. Note this method will cause some leakage
current through R2.
