GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CGY2013G is a GSM class 4 GaAs Monolithic
Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) power amplifier
specifically designed to operate at 3.6 V battery supply.
The PA requires only a 30 dB harmonic low-pass filter to
comply with the GSM transmit spurious specification.
It can be switched off and its power controlled by
monitoring the actual drain voltage applied to the amplifier
stages.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Operating conditions
The CGY2013G is designed to meet the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) GSM
documents, the
“ETS 300 577 specification”
, which are
defined as follows:
• ton= 542.8 µs
• T = 4.3 ms
• Duty cycle = 1/8.
The device is specifically designed for pulse operation
allowing the use of a LQFP48 plastic package.

Power amplifier
The power amplifier consists of four cascaded gain stages
with an open-drain configuration. Each drain has to be
loaded externally by an adequate reactive circuit which
also has to be a DC path to the supply.
The amplifier bias is set using a negative voltage applied
at pins V
GG1
and V
. This negative voltage must be
GG2
present before the supply voltage is applied to the drains
to avoid current overstress for the amplifier.
