APPLICATION INFORMATION To ensure proper performance, refer to all related Application Notes on the ANADIGICS web site: http://www.anadigics.com Shutdown Mode The power amplifier may be placed in a shutdown mode by applying logic low levels (see Operating Ranges table) to the VEN, VMODE1 and VMODE2 voltages. Bias Modes The power amplifier may be placed in either Low, Medium or High Bias modes by applying the appropriate logic level (see Operating Ranges table) to the VMODE pins. The Bias Control table below lists the recommended modes of operation for various applications. Three operating modes are recommended to optimize current consumption. High Bias/High Power operating mode is for POUT levels > 16 dbm. At ~17dBm 6 dbm, the PA could be switched to Medium Power Mode. For POUT levels < ~ dbm, the PA could be switched to Low Power Mode for extremely low current consumption.
