1 Introduction
This document describes the use, design, and test results of the BTS6302U EVB.
1.1 BTS6302U product description
The BTS6302U is a wideband, high linearity, pre-driver amplifier for 5G massive MIMO infrastructure applications, with fast on-off switching to support TDD systems. The amplifier is designed to operate from 2.3 GHz to 5 GHz.
It is housed in a 3 mm × 3 mm × 0.85 mm 16-terminal HVQFN package.
The amplifier is ESD protected on all terminals.
BTS6302U key features and benefits
- High saturated output power Po(sat) = 27.9 dBm
- High power-gain Gp = 38 dB
- High linearity performance ACLR = -43 dBc
- Unconditionally stable
- Fast switching to support TDD systems
- 5 V single supply, quiescent current 68 mA
- Small 16-terminal leadless package 3 mm x 3 mm x 0.85 mm
- ESD protection on all terminals

2.2 DC and control connections
Figure 3 shows the DC and enable connection, at the main header (J117). The connector can be straight or 90 degrees. The text is also on the EVB. Figure 4 shows connectors J118 GND, and J1 ISET. J1 (ISET) on the EVB has no functionality for BTS6302U and should be left open.

2.3 Operations
Figure 5 shows the connections in a single ended to single ended operation. Figure 6 shows the connections on differential to single ended operation.
If only single ended to single ended operation is needed, NXP refers to UM11646 of the BTS6303U.
