CoolPAM
Avago Technologies’ CoolPAM is stage-bypass PA tech-
nology which saves more power compared with conven-
tional PA. With this technology, the ACPM-7331 has very
low quiescent current and efficiencies at low and medium
output power ranges are very high.
Incorporation of bias circuit
the need for external constant voltage source (LDO). PA
on/off is controlled by Ven. This is digitally control pin.
3-mode power control with two mode control pins
The ACPM-7331 supports three power modes (low power
mode/mid power mode/high power mode) with two
mode control pins (Vmode0 and Vmode1). This control
scheme enables the ACPM-7331 to save more power,
which accordingly gives extended talk time.
PDF (probability density function) in Figure 15 showing
distribution of output power of mobile in real field gives
motivation for stage-bypass PA. Output power is less
than 16dBm for most of operating time (during talking),
so it is important to save power consumption at low and
medium output power ranges
Talk time is extended more as average current consump-
tion is lowered.

Average current & Talk time
Average current consumed by PA can be calculated by
summing up current at each output power weighted with
probability. So it is expressed with integration of multipli-
cation of current and probability at each output power.
The ACPM-7331 has internal bias circuit, which removes
Average current = ∫ (PDF x Current)dp
Mode control pins
they control operating mode of PA and truth table is sum-
marized in table 3. These pins do not require constant
voltage for interface, but high voltage input range is 1.9
though 2.9V
Application on mobile board
Figure 16 shows one application example on mobile. C4
and C5 should be placed nearby pin1 and pin10. Trans-
mission line length after PA output should be minimized
to reduce conduction loss.

Load Insensitivity
With the trend to remove the isolator from the Tx chain
in UMTS handsets, the performance demands of Load
Insensitivity become dependent on the combined per-
formance of the remaining elements in the TX chain: the
power amplifier, coupler, antenna as well as the physical
layout on the phone board. The ACPM-7331, as part of
optimized design, meets the necessary linearity require-
ments over a 4:1 VSWR mismatch at the antenna plane.
In the case of the ACPM-7331, the output stage has
been designed for slightly higher Pout to provide the
necessary margin to meet linearity under the mismatch
experienced at the PA output port resulting from the
forced antenna mismatch. Documentation is available
that provides a more complete description of the system
considerations and measurement considerations.
To illustrate the system performance using the ACPM-
7331, Figure 17 shows measurement of TX chain with
VSWR fixed at 4:1. ACLR1 is kept higher than -38dBc over
all phases and gain variance is about 3dB.
