PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AWC6311R meets the increasing demands
for higher efciency and smaller footprint in CDMA
1X handsets. The package pinout was chosen to
enable handset manufacturers to switch from a
4 mm x 4 mm PA module with few layout changes
while reducing board area requirements by 44 %.
The AWC6311R uses ANADIGICS’ exclusive InGaP-
Plus™ technology, which combines HBT and pHEMT
devices on the same die, to enable state-of-the-art
reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness. The
AWC6311R is part of ANADIGICS’ High-Efciency-
at-Low-Power (HELP™) family of CDMA power
ampliers, which deliver low quiescent currents and
signicantly greater efciency without a costly external
DAC or DC-DC converter. Through selectable bias
modes, the AWC6311R achieves optimal efciency
across different output power levels, specifically
at low- and mid-range power levels where the PA
typically operates, thereby dramatically increasing
handset talk-time and standby-time. Its built-in
voltage regulator eliminates the need for external

networks optimized for output power, efciency and
linearity in a 50 Ω system.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Table 2: Absolute Minimum and Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute ratings may cause permanent damage.
Functional operation is not implied under these conditions. Exposure
to absolute ratings for extended periods of time may adversely affect
reliability.
Table 3: Operating Ranges
The device may be operated safely over these conditions; however, parametric performance is guaranteed only
over the conditions dened in the electrical specications.
Notes:
(1) For operation at VCC = +3.2 V, POUT is derated by 0.5 dB.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
To ensure proper performance, refer to all related
Application Notes on the ANADIGICS web site:
http://www.anadigics.com
Shutdown Mode
The power amplier may be placed in a shutdown
mode by applying a logic low levels (see Operating
Ranges table) to both the VREF and VMODE voltages.
