RI23110 CDMA PCS 3-4 Volt Power Amplifier (1720-1910 MHz) The RI23110 Personal Communications Service (PCS) Power Amplifier is a fully matched 6-pin LCC surface mount module developed for PCS and wireless local loop applications. This small and efficient Power Amplifier packs a full 1720-1910 MHz bandwidth coverage into a single compact package. This device meets the stringent spectral linearity requirements of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) PCS transmission, with high power added efficiency for power output of up to 29 dBm. A single GaAs Microwave Monolithic Intergrated Circuit (MMIC) contains all active circuitry in the module. The MMIC contains on-board bias circuitry, as well as input and interstage matching circuits. The output match is realized off-chip within the module package to optimize efficiency and power performance into a 50 load. This device is manufactured with Conexant's GaAs HBT process that provides for all positive voltage DC supply operation while maintaining high efficiency and good linearity. Primary bias to the RI23110 is supplied directly from a three-cell nickel cadmium, single-cell lithium ion, or other suitable battery with output in the 3-4 volt range. Power down is accomplished by setting the voltage on the low current reference pin to zero volts. No external supply side switch is needed as typical "off" leakage is a few microamperes with full primary voltage supplied from the battery.

Typical Case Markings Mark Pin 1 Identifier CONEXANT RI23110-11 NXXXXX.XX YYWW TWH Manufacturing Part Number-Revision Lot Number YY = Manufacture Year WW = Week Package Sealed MEX = Country Code 100728_008 Because this device package is sensitive to moisture absorption, it is baked and vacuum packed prior to shipment. Instructions on the shipping container label regarding exposure to moisture after the container seal is broken must be followed. Otherwise, problems related to moisture absorption may occur when the part is subjected to high temperature during solder assembly. If the part is attached in a reflow oven, the temperature ramp rate should not exceed 5 C per second. Maximum temperature should not exceed 225 C and the time spent at a temperature exceeding 210 C should be limited to less than 10 seconds. If the part is manually attached, precaution should be taken to insure that the part is not subjected to a temperature exceeding 300 C for more than 10 seconds. For additional details on both attachment techniques, please refer to Application Note: GaAs IC Handling, Document Number AN-0004. 18 Conexant 100728C RI23110 Package Dimensions and Pin Description CDMA PCS 3-4 Volt Power Amplifier (1720-1910 MHz) United States PCS Band (1850-1910 MHz) Production quantities of the RI23110 are shipped in the standard tape-and-reel format illustrated below.

Figure 24 lists the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) immunity level for each pin of the RI23110 product. The voltages shown in Figure 24 specify the ESD threshold level for each pin where the I-V curve between the pin and ground starts to show degradation. The ESD testing was performed in compliance with MIL-STD-883E Method 3015.7 using the Human Body Model. Since 2000 volts represents the maximum measurement limit of the test equipment used, pins marked > 2000 V pass 2000V ESD stress. Figure 24.

Many vendors employ relaxed ESD failure standards which fail devices only after "the pin fails the electrical specification limits" or "the pin becomes completely non-functional". Conexant employs the most stringent criteria and fails devices as soon as the pin begins to show any degradation on a curve tracer. To avoid ESD damage, latent or visible, it is very important that the product assembly and test areas follow the Class-1 ESD handling precautions listed in Table 9. Table 9.
