Agilent ACPM-7891 Tri-Band Power Amplifier Module EGSM, DCS and PCS Multi-slot GPRS Data Sheet Features * Highest Power Added Efficiency in the industry * Performance guaranteed for GPRS Class 10 (2-Slot) transmit operation The Agilent ACPM-7891 provides a cost effective dual or tri-band GSM PA solution with the additional benefit of excellent efficiency enabling multi-slot GPRS operation and extended transmit time. The device is internally matched to 50 and therefore an effective design can be implemented quickly with a few additional capacitors for d.c. blocking of the output ports and bypassing of the supply pins. * Low harmonics Gnd Vapc DCS/PCS Gnd Vdd3 DCS/PCS * Single 3.5 Volt supply (nominal) * 50 Ohms input & output impedance * Small SMT package 6 x 12 x 1.4 mm 17 16 15 14 18 13 Gnd 19 12 Gnd 11 RFout DCS/PCS 10 Gnd 20 21 22 23 24 25 YYWWDDLLLL RFin DCS/PCS Gnd Vdd1,2 DCS/PCS Vdd1,2 Bypass Gnd Vdd1,2 Bypass Vdd1,2 EGSM Gnd RFin EGSM Agilent ACPM-7891 The ACPM-7891 has the highest Power-added Efficiency (PAE) for all three bands of operation in the industry, enabling customers to design handset, PDA and data card with up to 15% longer transmit or talk time.
