ACPM-5011
UMTS/LTE Band11 + Band21 (1427.9 - 1462.9 MHz)
3 x 3 mm Power Amplifier Module
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The ACPM-5011 is a fully matched 10-pin surface mount
module developed for UMTS and LTE at Band11 and Band
21. This power amplifier module operates in the 1427.9-
1462.9 MHz bandwidth. The ACPM-5011 meets stringent
LTE (MPR = 0 dB) and HSPA+ linearity requirements up to
27.5 dBm output power. The 3 x 3 mm form factor package
is self contained, incorporating 50 ohm input and output
matching networks.
• Thin Package (0.9 mm typ)
• Excellent Linearity
• 3-mode power control with Vbp and Vmode
• Bypass / Mid Power Mode / High Power Mode
• High Efficiency at max output power
• 10-pin surface mounting package
• Internal 50 ohm matching networks for both RF input
th
The ACPM-5011 features 5 generation of CoolPAM circuit
and output
technology which supports 3 power modes – bypass, mid
and high power modes. The CoolPAM is stage bypass tech-
nology enhancing PAE (power added efficiency) at low
and medium power range. Active bypass feature is added
• Integrated coupler
• Coupler and Isolation ports for daisy chain
• Green – Lead-free and RoHS complian
th
to 5 generation to enhance PAE further at low output
range. This helps to extend talk time.
Applications
A directional coupler is integrated into the module and
both coupling and isolation ports are available externally,
supporting daisy chain. The integrated coupler has
excellent coupler directivity, which minimizes the coupled
output power variation or delivered power variation
caused by the load mismatch from the antenna. The
coupler directivity, or the output power variation into
the mismatched load, is critical to the TRP and SAR per-
formance of the mobile phones in real field operations as
well as compliance tests for the system specifications.

The ACPM-5011 has integrated on-chip Vref and
on-module bias switch as the one of the key features of
the CoolPAM-5, so an external constant voltage source
is not required, eliminating the external LDO regulators
and switches from circuit boards of mobile devices. It also
makes the PA fully digital-controllable by the Ven pin that
simply turns the PA on and off from the digital control logic
input from baseband chipsets. All of the digital control
input pins such as the Ven, Vmode and Vbp are fully CMOS
compatible and can operate down to the 1.35 V logic. The
current consumption by digital control pins is negligible.
