RF3237
Quad Band GSM / GPRS Transmit Module with UMTS Transmit / Receive Ports
Qorvo's RF3237 is a quad-band (GSM850/EGSM900/DCS1800/PCS1900) GSM/GPRS Class 12-compliant transmit module with four transmit/receive ports for UMTS use that also serve as GSM Rx ports. This transmit module builds upon Qorvo's leading PowerStar® integrated power control technology, SOI (silicon-on-insulator) switch technology, and integrated transmit filtering for best-in-class harmonic performance. The results are high performance, reduced solution size, and ease of implementation. The device is designed for use as the final portion of the transmitter section in a GSM850/EGSM900/DCS1800/PCS1900/UMTS handset and eliminates the need for a PA-to-antenna switch module matching network. The device provides 50 ohm matched input and output ports requiring no external matching components. The RF3237 features Qorvo's latest integrated power-flattening circuit, which significantly reduces current and power variation into load mismatch. Additionally, a VBATT tracking feature is incorporated to maintain switching performance as supply voltage decreases. The RF3237 also integrates an ESD filter to provide excellent ESD protection at the antenna port.
