PRODUCT SUMMARY
SKY77629-21 Multimode Multiband Power Amplifier Module
for Quad-Band GSM/EDGE – Hexa-Band (I, II, III, IV, V, VIII)
WCDMA / HSDPA / HSUPA / HSPA+ / LTE
Applications
Description
The SKY77629-21 is a hybrid, multimode multiband (MMMB)
Power Amplifier Module (PAM) that supports 2.5G and 3G/4G
handsets and operates efficiently in GSM, EGPRS, EDGE, WCDMA,
and LTE modes. The PAM consists of a GSM 800/EGSM 900 PA
block, a DCS1800/PCS1900 PA block, separate WCDMA blocks
operating in low and high bands, a logic control block for multiple
power control levels, and band enable functions in both cellular
and UMTS. RF I/O ports are internally matched to 50 Ω to
minimize the number of external components. Extremely low
leakage current maximizes handset standby time. The
InGaP/GaAs die and passive components are mounted on a multi-
layer laminate substrate and the assembly encapsulated in plastic
overmold.
• Quad-band cellular handsets:
- Class 4 GSM850 / EGSM900
- Class 1 DCS1800 / PCS1900
- Class E2 GSM850 / EGSM900 / DCS1800 / PCS1900
- Class 12 multi-slot EGPRS
• Multiband 3G handsets
• WCDMA/ HSDPA/ HSUPA/ LTE-modulated handsets for
Bands I, II, III, IV, V, VIII
Features
• Hybrid architecture: separate GSM, WCDMA paths
• 50 ohm input and output impedances, integrated DC blocking
GSM/ EDGE: The SKY77629-21 uses a new compact architecture
supporting the GSM850, EGSM900, DCS1800 and PCS1900
bands. The PAM also supports 2.5G Class 12 Enhanced General
Packet Radio Service (EGPRS) multi-slot operation and EDGE
linear modulation.
on all ports
• Separate single-ended GSM and WCDMA inputs and outputs
• CMOS-compatible, two-wire MIPI logic inputs (SCLK, SDATA)
• VCC stages for 2.5G can attach to battery or buck DC/DC
• Low capacitance VCC interface for 3G/4G supports Envelope
Tracking compatibility
WCDMA: The SKY77629-21 uses an enhanced architecture to:
support WCDMA, High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA),
High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA), and LTE modulations;
cover multiple bands for 3GPP, including bands I, II, IV, V, and VIII;
operate at different power modes. The module is fully controllable
via MIPI interface.
• Small, low profile package:
- 7 mm x 5 mm x 0.9 mm
- 42-pad configuration
2.5G FEATURES:
- EGPRS Class 12 multi-slot operation
- Four RF POUT control levels using RFFE interface
- Linear PA with bias optimization for efficiency/linearity trade-
off in 8-PSK mode
LTE: The SKY77629-21 meets spectral linearity requirements of
LTE modulation with QPSK/16QAM up to 20 MHz bandwidth,
including various resource block allocations, with good power-
added efficiency
3G FEATURES:
- WCDMA mode supports output power, bandwidth for
bands I, II, III, IV, V, VIII (and sub-bands IX, X, XVIII, IXX, XXVI)
through an integrated band-select switch
- Digital bias optimization through RFFE interface for best
efficiency/linearity tradeoff

module.
- Optimized for envelope tracking system
4G FEATURES:
- Optimized for Average Power Tracking system
- LTE supports output power bandwidth bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8
(and sub-bands 9, 10, 18, 19, 20, 26)
