Introduction
The AGR21030E is a high-voltage, gold-metalized,
laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor
(LDMOS) RF power transistor suitable for wideband
code division multiple access (W-CDMA), single and
multicarrier class AB wireless base station power
amplifier applications.

Typical performance for 2 carrier 3GPP
W-CDMA systems. F1 = 2135 MHz and
F2 = 2145 MHz with 3.84 MHz channel BW, adja-
cent channel BW = 3.84 MHz at F1 – 5 MHz and
F2 + 5 MHz. Third-order distortion is measured
over 3.84 MHz BW at F1 – 10 MHz and
F2 + 10 MHz. Typical P/A ratio of 8.5 dB at 0.01%
(probability) CCDF:
— Output power: 7 W.
— Power gain: 14.5 dB.
— Efficiency: 26%.
— IM3: –34 dBc.
— ACPR: –37 dBc.
— Return loss: –12 dB.
High-reliability, gold-metalization process.
Low hot carrier injection (HCI) induced bias drift
over 20 years.
Internally matched.
High gain, efficiency, and linearity.
Integrated ESD protection.
Device can withstand a 10:1 voltage standing wave
ratio (VSWR) at 28 Vdc, 2140 MHz, 30 W continu-
ous wave (CW) output power.
Large signal impedance parameters available.

* Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause
permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress rat-
ings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at
these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the
operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute
maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect
device reliability.

* Although electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuitry has
been designed into this device, proper precautions must be
taken to avoid exposure to ESD and electrical overstress (EOS)
during all handling, assembly, and test operations. Agere
employs a human-body model (HBM), a machine model (MM),
and a charged-device model (CDM) qualification requirement in
order to determine ESD-susceptibility limits and protection
design evaluation. ESD voltage thresholds are dependent on the
circuit parameters used in each of the models, as defined by
JEDEC's JESD22-A114B (HBM), JESD22-A115A (MM), and
JESD22-C101A (CDM) standards.
Caution: MOS devices are susceptible to damage from elec-
trostatic charge. Reasonable precautions in han-
dling and packaging MOS devices should be
observed.
