GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CGY2021G
The CGY2021G is a DCS/PCS class 1 GaAs Monolithic
Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) power amplifier
specifically designed to operate at 4.8 V battery supply.
The chip also includes a power sensor driver so that no
directional coupler is required in the power control loop.
The PA requires only a simple low-pass filter to comply
with the DCS/PCS 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 CGY2021G is designed to meet the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) DCS
documents, the ETS 300 577 specification, which are
defined as follows:
•
t
on
= 542.8
µs
•
T = 4.3 ms
•
Duty cycle = 1/8.
This amplifier is specifically designed for pulse operation
allowing the use of a LQFP48 plastic package.
Power amplifier
The Power Amplifier (PA) 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.
CGY2021G
The amplifier bias is set by using 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 of the amplifier.
Power sensor driver
The power sensor driver is a buffer amplifier that delivers
an output signal at the DETO 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. An 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.
