GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CGY2010G and CGY2011G are GSM class 4 GaAs
Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) power
amplifiers specifically designed to operate at 4.8 V battery
supply. These ICs also include a power sensor driver so
that no directional coupler is required in the power control
loop.
Both ICs have the same performance but are issued from
different wafer fabs.
The PAs require only a 30 dB harmonic low-pass filter to
comply with the GSM transmit spurious specification.
They can be switched off and their power controlled by
monitoring the actual drain voltage applied to the amplifier
stages.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Operating conditions
The CGY2010G and CGY2011G are designed to meet the
European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI)
GSM documents, the
“ETS 300 577 specification”,
which
are defined as follows:
•
t
on
= 542.8
µs
•
T = 4.3 ms
•
Duty cycle = 1/8
The devices are 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.
CGY2010G; CGY2011G
The amplifier bias is set by means of a negative voltage
applied at pins V
GG1
and V
GG2
. This negative voltage must
be present before the supply voltage is applied to the
drains to avoid current overstress for the amplifier.
Power sensor driver
The power sensor driver is a buffer amplifier that delivers
a signal to the DETO output pin which is proportional to the
amplifier power. This signal can be detected by external
diodes for power control purpose. As the sensor signal is
taken from the input of the last stage of the PA, it is isolated
from disturbances at the output by the reverse isolation of
the PA output stage.
Impedance mismatch at the PA output therefore, does not
significantly influence the signal delivered by the power
sensor as this normally occurs when power sense is made
using a directional coupler. Consequently the cost and
space of using a directional coupler are saved.
