The SKY77360-12 from Skyworks is a power amplifier module (PAM) that supports fixed gain Gaussian Minimum-Shift Keying (GMSK), fixed gain linear Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution (EDGE) modulation in the GSM850/900 and DCS1800/PCS1900 bands, and TD-SCDMA modulation in Bands 34 and 39. It also supports Class12 General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) multi-slot operation.
The module has integrated GSM850/900 and DCS1800/PCS1900/B34/B39 power amplifier blocks, 50-ohm input and output matching circuitry, and a multi-function power amplifier control (MFC) block. The custom silicon CMOS MFC provides PA bias and product identification read-back capability and is fully programmable through the RF Front-End Mobile Industry Processor Interface.
It is available in a small, low profile package that measures 3.0 mm x 3.0 mm x 0.67 mm and is ideal for 2G quad-band cellular handsets, GMSK modulation and EDGE modulation applications.
