1 ltc1957-1/LTC1957-2 single/dual band rf power controllers with 40db dynamic range the ltc ? 1957-2 is a dual band rf power controller for power amplifiers operating in the 850mhz to 2ghz range. the input voltage range is optimized for operation from a single lithium-ion cell or 3 nimh. several functions required for rf power control and protection are inte- grated in one small 10-pin msop package, thereby minimizing pcb area. the ltc1957-1 is a single output rf power controller that is identical in performance to the LTC1957-2 except that one output (v pca ) is provided. the ltc1957-1 can be used to drive a single rf or dual channel module with integral multiplexer. this part is available in an 8-pin msop package. rf power is controlled by driving the rf amplifier power control pins and sensing the resultant rf output power via a directional coupler. the rf sense voltage is peak detected using an on-chip schottky diode. this detected voltage is compared to the dac voltage at the pctl pin to control the output power. the rf power amplifier is protected against high supply current and high power control pin voltages. internal and external offsets are cancelled over tempera- ture by an autozero control loop, allowing accurate low power programming. the shutdown feature disables the part and reduces the supply current to < 1 m a. n dual band rf power amplifier control (LTC1957-2) n internal schottky diode detector with improved dynamic range vs the ltc1757a n wide input frequency range: 850mhz to 2ghz n autozero loop cancels offset errors and temperature dependent offsets n wide v in range: 2.7v to 6v n allows direct connection to battery n rf output power set by external dac n fast acquire after transmit enable n internal frequency compensation n rail-to-rail power control outputs n power control signal overvoltage protection n low operating current: 1ma n very low shutdown current: < 1 m a n available in a 8-pin msop package (ltc1957-1) and 10-pin msop (LTC1957-2) n pin compatible with the ltc1757a-x n improved start voltage accuracy and range n improved pctl input filtering , ltc and lt are registered trademarks of linear technology corporation. v in rf shdn bsel gnd 10 9 8 7 6 1 2 3 4 5 v cc v pca v pcb txen pctl LTC1957-2 33pf 68 v in li-ion shdn bsel txen 900mhz dac rf pa directional coupler diplexer 1.8ghz /1.9ghz rf pa 50 1957 ta01 LTC1957-2 dual band cellular telephone transmitter n single and dual band gsm/gprs cellular telephones n pcs devices n wireless data modems n u.s. tdma cellular phones applicatio s u features typical applicatio u descriptio u

6 ltc1957-1/LTC1957-2 applicatio n s i n for m atio n wu u u forward the ltc1957 is an improved version of the ltc1757a. the schottky diode detector dynamic range has been extended to over 40db. the start voltage accuracy has been improved to 17%. the autozero hold time has been increased for applications requiring transmit times of several hundred milliseconds. the pctl input filter band- width has been reduced to 350khz for improved rejection of dac noise as well as smoother ramp shaping. operation the LTC1957-2 dual band rf power control amplifier integrates several functions to provide rf power control over frequencies ranging from 850mhz to 2ghz. the device also prevents damage to the rf power amplifier due to overvoltage or overcurrent conditions. these func- tions include an internally compensated power control, amplifier to control the rf output power, an autozero section to cancel internal and external voltage offsets, a sense amplifier with an internal sense resistor to limit the maximum rf power amplifier current, an rf schottky diode peak detector and amplifier to convert the rf feed- back signal to dc, a v pca/b overvoltage clamp, compres- sion, a bandgap reference, a thermal shutdown circuit and a multiplexer to switch the control amplifier output to either v pca or v pcb . band selection the LTC1957-2 is designed for dual band operation. the bsel pin will select output v pca when low and output v pcb when high. for example, v pca could be used to drive a 900mhz channel and v pcb a 1.8ghz/1.9ghz channel. bsel must be established before the part is enabled. the ltc1957-1 can be used to drive a single rf channel or dual channel with integral multiplexer. control amplifier the control amplifier supplies the power control voltage to the rf power amplifier. a portion (typically C 19db for low frequencies and C14db for high frequencies) of the rf output voltage is sampled, via a directional coupler, to close the gain control loop. when a dac voltage is applied to pctl, the amplifier quickly servos v pca or v pcb positive until the detected feedback voltage applied to the rf pin matches the voltage at pctl. this feedback loop provides accurate rf power control. v pca or v pcb are capable of driving a 5.5ma load current and 100pf load capacitor. rf detector the internal rf schottky diode peak detector and ampli- fier converts the rf feedback voltage from the directional coupler to a low frequency voltage . this voltage is com- pared to the dac voltage at the pctl pin by the control amplifier to close the rf power control loop. the rf pin input resistance is typically 200 w and the frequency range of this pin is 850mhz to 2000mhz. the detector demonstrates excel lent efficiency and linearity over a wide range of input power. the schottky detector is biased at about 60 m a and drives an on-chip peak detector capaci- tor of 28pf. autozero an autozero system is included to improve power pro- gramming accuracy over temperature. this section can- cels internal offsets associated with the schottky diode detector and control amplifier. external offsets associated with the dac driving the pctl pin are also cancelled. offset drift due to temperature is cancelled between each burst. the maximum offset allowed at the dac output is limited to 400mv. autozeroing is performed when the part is in autozero mode (shdn = high, txen = low). when the part is enabled (txen = high, shdn = high) the autozero capacitors are held and the v pca or v pcb pin is connected to the control amplifier output. the hold droop voltage of typically < 1 m v/ms provides for accurate offset
7 ltc1957-1/LTC1957-2 modes of operation the LTC1957-2 supports three operating modes: shut- down, autozero and enable. in shutdown mode (shdn = low) the part is disabled and supply currents will be reduced to <1 m a. v pca and v pcb will be connected to ground via 100 w switches. in autozero mode (shdn = high, txen = low) v pca and v pcb will remain connected to ground and the part will be in the autozero mode. the part must remain in autozero for at least 50 m s to allow for the autozero circuit to settle. in enable mode (shdn = high, txen = high) the control loop and protection functions will be operational. when txen is switched high, acquisition will begin. the control amplifier will start to ramp the control voltage to the rf power amplifier. the rf amplifier will then start to turn on. the feedback signal from the directional coupler and the output power will be detected by the LTC1957-2 at the rf pin. the loop closes and the amplifier output tracks the dac voltage ramping at pctl. the rf power output will then follow the programmed power profile from the dac. mode shdn txen operation shutdown low low disabled autozero high low autozero enable high high power control cancella tion over the normal 1/8 duty cycle associated with the gsm protocol as well as multislot protocols. the part must be in the autozero mode for at least 50 m s for autozero to settle to the correct value. filter there is a 350khz filter included in the pctl path. protection features the rf power amplifier is overcurrent protected by an internal sense amplifier. the sense amplifier measures the voltage across an internal 0.050 w resistor to determine the rf power amplifier current. v pca or v pcb is lowered as this supply current exceeds 2.2a, thereby regulating the current to about 2.25a. the regulated current limit is temperature compensated. the 0.050 w resistor and the current limit feature can be removed by connecting the pa directly to v in . the rf power amplifier control voltage pins are overvolt- age protected. the v pc overvoltage clamp regulates v pca or v pcb to 2.85v when the gain and pctl input combina- tion attempts to exceed this voltage. the internal thermal shutdown circuit will disable the LTC1957-2 if the junction temperature exceeds approxi- mately 150 c. the part will be enabled when the tempera- ture falls below 140 c. applicatio n s i n for m atio n wu u u shdn bsel txen note 1: the external dac driving the pctl pin can be enabled during autozero. the autozero system will cancel the dac transient. the dac must be settled to an offset 400mv before txen is asserted high. pctl v pca v pcb shutdown autozero t 1 t s enable note 1 1957 td t 2 start voltage start voltage t s : autozero settling time, 50 s minimum t 1 : bsel change prior to txen, 200ns typical t 2 : bsel change after txen, 200ns typical t 3 : start of ramp after txen is asserted high, 1 s minimum, 10 s maximum t 3 LTC1957-2 timing diagram

9 ltc1957-1/LTC1957-2 applicatio s i for atio wu uu dac 2k 330pf 1957 f02 ptcl ltc1957 figure 2 must be applied at least 4 m s before txen is asserted high to allow the autozero to cancel the step. slow dac rise times will extend this time by the additional rc time constants. another factor that affects power ramp sidebands is the dac signal to pctl. the bandwidth of the ltc1957 may not be low enough to adequately filter out steps associated with the dac. if the baseband chip does not have an internal filter, it is recommended that a 1-stage external filter be placed between the dac output and the pctl pin. resistor values should be kept below 2k since the pctl input resistance is 90k. a typical filter scheme is shown in figure 2. the power control ramp should be started in the range of 1 m s to 10 m s after txen is asserted high. 1) the additional voltage gain supplied by the rf power amplifier increases the loop gain raising poles normally below the 0db axis. the extra voltage gain can vary significantly over input/output power ranges, frequency, power supply, temperature and manufacturer. rf power amplifier gain control transfer functions are often not available and must be generated by the user. loop oscil- lations are most likely to occur in the midpower range where the external voltage gain associated with the rf power amplifier typically peaks. it is useful to measure the oscillation or ringing frequency to determine whether it corresponds to the expected loop bandwidth and thus is due to high gain bandwidth. 2) loop voltage losses supplied by the directional coupler will improve phase margin. the larger the directional coupler loss the more stable the loop will become. how- ever, larger losses reduce the rf signal to the ltc1957 and detector performance may be degraded at low power levels. (see rf detector characteristics.) 3) additional poles within the loop due to filtering or the turn-on response of the rf power amplifier can degrade the phase margin if these pole frequencies are near the effective loop bandwidth frequency. generally loops using rf power amplifiers with fast turn-on times have more phase margin. extra filtering below 16mhz should never be placed within the control loop, as this will only degrade phase margin. 4) control loop instability can also be due to open loop issues. rf power amplifiers should first be characterized in an open loop configuration to ensure self oscillation is not present. self-oscillation is often related to poor power supply decoupling, ground loops, coupling due to poor layout and extreme v swr conditions. the oscillation fre- quency is generally in the 100khz to 10mhz range. power supply related oscillation suppression requires large value ceramic decoupling capacitors placed close to the rf power amp supply pins. the range of decoupling capacitor values is typically 1nf to 3.3 m f. 5) poor layout techniques associated with the directional coupler area may result in high frequency signals bypass- ing the coupler. this could result in stability problems due to the reduction in the coupler loss. demo board the ltc1957 demo board is available upon request. the demo board has a 900mhz and an 1800mhz rf channel controlled by the ltc1957. timing signals for txen are generated on the board using a 13mhz crystal reference. the pctl power control pin is driven by a 10-bit dac and the dac profile can be loaded via a serial port. the serial port data is stored in a flash memory which is capable of storing eight ramp profiles. the board is supplied preloaded with four gsm power profiles and four dcs power profiles covering the entire power range. external timing signals can be used in place of the internal crystal controlled timing. a variety of rf power amplifiers are available. ltc1957 control loop stability the ltc1957 provides a stable control loop for several rf power amplifier models from different manufacturers over a wide range of frequencies, output power levels and v swr conditions. however, there are several factors that can improve or degrade loop frequency stability.
10 ltc1957-1/LTC1957-2 determining external loop gain and bandwidth the external loop voltage gain contributed by the rf chan- nel and directional coupler network should be measured in a closed loop configuration. a voltage step is applied to pctl and the change in v pca (or v pcb ) is measured. the detected voltage is 0.6 ? pctl and the external voltage gain contributed by the rf power amplifier and directional coupler network is 0.6 ? d v pctl / d v vpca . measuring volt- age gain in the closed loop configuration accounts for the nonlinear detector gain that is dependent on rf input voltage and frequency. the ltc1957 unity gain bandwidth specified in the data sheet assumes that the net voltage gain contributed by the rf power amplifier and directional coupler is unity. the bandwidth is calculated by measuring the rise time be- tween 10% and 90% of the voltage change at v pca or v pcb for a small step in voltage applied to pctl. bw1 = 0.35/rise time the ltc1957 control amplifier unity gain bandwidth (bw1) is typically 370khz. the phase margin of the control amplifier is typically 86 . for pctl voltages <650mv, the rf detected voltage is 0.6pctl. for pctl voltages >650mv, rf detected voltage is 1.18pctl C 0.38. this change in gain is due to an internal compression circuit designed to extend the detec- tor range. for example, to determine the external rf channel loop voltage gain with the loop closed, apply a 100mv step to pctl from 300mv to 400mv. v pca (or v pcb ) will increase to supply enough feedback voltage to the rf pin to cancel this 100mv step which would be the required detected voltage of 60mv. v pca changed from 1.498v to 1.528v to create the rf output power change required. the net external voltage gain contributed by the rf power ampli- fier and directional coupler network can be calculated by dividing the 60mv change at the rf pin by the 30mv change at the v pca pin. the net external voltage gain would then be approximately 2. the loop bandwidth extends to 2 ? bw1. if bw1 is 370khz, the loop bandwidth increases to approximately 740khz. the phase margin can be deter- mined from figures 3 and 4. repeat the above voltage gain measurement over the full power and frequency range. applicatio s i for atio wu uu figure 3. measured open loop gain and phase, pctl < 640mv frequency (hz) 100 ?0 voltage gain (db) phase (deg) ?0 0 20 10 40 30 1k 10k 100k 1m 10m 1957 f03 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 60 50 80 70 ?0 0 20 60 40 100 80 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?00 140 120 180 160 phase gain r load = 2k c load = 33pf frequency (hz) 100 ?0 voltage gain (db) phase (deg) ?0 0 20 10 40 30 1k 10k 100k 1m 10m 1957 f04 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?0 60 50 80 70 ?0 0 20 60 40 100 80 ?0 ?0 ?0 ?00 140 120 180 160 phase r load = 2k c load = 33pf gain figure 4. measured open loop gain and phase, pctl > 640mv
