ACPM-5013
3 x 3 mm Power Amplifier Module
LTE Band13/14 (777-798 MHz)
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The ACPM-5013 is a fully matched 10-pin surface mount
module developed for LTE Band 13 and Band 14, operating
in the 777-798 MHz bandwidth. The ACPM-5013 meets
stringent LTE linearity requirements up to 27.5 dBm output
power (MPR = 0 dB). The 3 x 3 mm form factor package is
self contained, incorporating 50 ohm input and output
matching networks. The PA also contains internal DC
blocking capacitors for RF input and output ports.
x Thin Package (0.9 mm typ)
The ACPM-5013 features 5th generation of CoolPAM
(CoolPAM5) circuit technology which supports 3 power
modes – bypass, mid and high power modes. The CoolPAM
is stage bypass technology enhancing PAE (power added
efficiency) at low and medium power range. The active
bypass feature is added to CoolPAM5 to enhance the PAE
further at low output range and it enables the PA to have
exceptionally low quiescent current. It dramatically saves
the average power consumption and accordingly extends
the talk time of mobiles and prolongs a battery life.

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 performance of the mobile phones in real field operations as
well as compliance tests for the system specifications.
x LTE Band13 / Band 14 Handset and Data Card
The ACPM-5013 has integrated on-chip Vref and onmodule 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.
The power amplifier is manufactured on an advanced
InGaP HBT (hetero-junction Bipolar Transistor) MMIC
(microwave monolithic integrated circuit) technology
offering state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability
and ruggedness.
