There are two amplifier chains, one to support GSM850/900 bands, the other for DCS/PCS bands. Each amplification chain is optimized for excellent EDGE efficiency, power, and linearity in a Polar loop environment while maintaining high efficiency in the GSM/GPRS mode. The amplifier's power control range is typically 55 dB, with the output power set by applying an analog voltage to VRAMP. All of the RF ports for this device are DC blocked and internally matched to 50 . The module includes an internal reference voltage and integrated power control scheme for use in both GMSK and 8-PSK operation. This facilitates fast and easy production calibration and reduces the number of external components required to complete a power control function.

All the package pins were subjected to an ESD pulse event using the Human Body Model outlined in JESD22-A114C.01 in either polarity with respect to ground. The pre and post test I-V characteristics of each pin are recorded. The ratings on each pin require that it sustain the ESD event and show no degradation.
