RPM6743-12 LTE Multi-band Power Amplifier Module Rev 1.1
1. General Description
The RPM6743-12 is a multi-mode multi-band (MMMB) Power Amplifier Module that supports
CDMA, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, TDD/FDD LTE modes. The module is fully programmable through
a MIPI RFFE Interface.
The RPM6743-12 consists of three amplifier paths for Low, Middle and High Band frequencies
followed by switch outputs for multi-band coverage.
The module is encapsulated in a 4.0 mm × 6.8 mm × 0.8 mm, 42-pad MCM package.
