description

The TPS9103 is a highly integrated power supply for depletion-mode GaAs power amplifiers (PA) in cellular handsets and other wireless communications equipment. Functional integration and low-profile packaging combine to minimize circuit-board area and component height requirements. The device includes: a p-channel MOSFET configured as a high-side switch to control the application of power to the PA; a driver for the high-side switch with a logic-compatible input; a charge pump to provide negative gate-bias voltage; and logic to prevent turn-on of the high-side switch until gate bias is present. The high-side switch has a typical on-state resistance of 135 mΩ . The TPS9103 is available in a 20-pin thin shrink small-outline package (TSSOP) or in chip form. Contact factory for die sales. The device operates over a junction temperature range of –25°C to 125°C.

The driver pulls the gate of the high-side switch to GATE_BIAS instead of ground to reduce the MOSFET on-state resistance. Gate breakdown considerations limit the voltage between BATT_IN and GATE_BIAS to 15 V. Extremely fast switching times are not required in this application, and the high-side switch/driver is designed to provide 2 µs maximum switching times with minimum power consumption. The GaAs depletion-mode MOSFETs in the PA are protected from damage at power-up by internal logic that inhibits the driver until negative gate bias is available. The control input SW_EN is compatible with 3-V and 5-V CMOS logic; a logic-high input turns the high-side switch on. oscillator (OSC_EN , CLK) The internal oscillator drives the charge pump at 50 kHz with a nominal duty cycle of 50% when both the EN and OSC_EN inputs are logic lows. CLK outputs the internal oscillator signal (no buffer). A logic-high input to OSC_EN disables the internal oscillator and allows the charge pump to operate from an external clock connected to CLK. When an external clock with negative overshoot is applied, a Schottky diode must be added to limit the amplitude of the overshoot. charge pump (GATE_BIAS, C1+, C1–) The inverting charge pump generates the negative gate-bias voltage output at GATE_BIAS. chip enable (EN A logic high on EN shuts down the internal functions of the TPS9103 and turns the bias system off, reducing the supply current to less than 10 µA. A low input on EN causes normal operation to resume. power good (PG, PGP) PG output is logic high when GATE_BIAS is in regulation. PG output is logic low when GATE_BIAS is not in regulation. The high-side switch is disabled and PG is forced to logic low whenever the magnitude of GATE_BIAS is less than 0.6 × V DD . A modified threshold for the power-good function can be achieved by programming PGP with an external resistor. undervoltage lockout for VCC and VDD (UVLO and UVDLO) Undervoltage lockout prevents operation at supply voltages too low for proper operation. When UVLO or UVDLO is active, all power-switch drives are forced to the off state and bias is removed from unneeded functions. Hysteresis is provided to minimize cycling on and off because of source impedance loading when the supply voltage is close to the threshold. buffered clock output (BCLK) The buffered clock output is a driver for an external charge pump. When the optional external charge pump is not needed, BCLK should be left unconnected. For more details, see the application section. supply input for inverting charge pump (V DD ) VDD is the supply voltage for the inverting charge pump. In normal operation, VDD is connected to VCC . If the negative gate-bias needs to be larger than VCC (i.e., more negative), then a higher voltage supply needs to be connected to VDD . This can be supplied from an external charge pump driven from BCLK.

Implementation of integrated circuits in low-profile and fine-pitch packages requires special attention to power dissipation. Many system-dependent issues such as thermal coupling, airflow, added heat sinks and convection surfaces, and the presence of other heat-generating components affect the power-dissipation limits of a given component. Three basic approaches for enhancing thermal performance are listed below: /C0068Improving the power-dissipation capability of the PWB design /C0068Improving the thermal coupling of the component to the PWB /C0068Introducing airflow in to the system Using the given RθJA for this IC, the maximum power dissipation can be calculated with the equation: P D max /C0043 TJmax /C0042TA R /C0113JA For the TPS9103, the power dissipation is in the PMOSFET. To calculate the power, use: I2 /C0032R where I is the current through the device and R is the internal resistance as shown in the electrical characteristics table.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Traditionally the RF power amplifier (PA) is powered directly from the battery, with a switching arrangement for powering down when not in use. GaAs FET PAs require a negative bias voltage that must be present before the supply is connected, or there is risk of destroying the FET. Logic must be provided to ensure the presence of the negative bias voltage. A secondary charge pump is necessary for systems in which the supply voltage is insufficiently high – the negative bias produced from the charge pump is inadequate. In mobile telephony a second charge pump (regulated or unregulated) may also be needed, e.g. for varicap diodes/VCOs and some preamplifiers. The need for larger dynamic range or control-voltage range can become critical in certain applications. the TPS9103 approach The TPS9103 integrates a P-channel MOSFET high-side switch together with a selectable oscillator and charge pump for the GaAs FET power-amplifier gate bias, which is monitored. Complete precautions are taken to ensure that the PA supply is not enabled unless the gate bias is present while V CC and VDD are also good. This protects the PA from inadvertent damage–without a major system size/cost increase. The bias regulation monitor is flexible, accommodating both fixed and programmable approaches. The fixed resistors, provided internally, set the trip voltage to –0.6 x VDD . If VDD is 5 V, then the trip voltage is –3 V. Should another value be preferred, it can be set by applying voltage divider to PGP. See the section “dimensioning the external voltage divider” for more details. The charge pump clock is also flexible. The on-chip oscillator runs at a nominal 50 kHz, or alternatively an external oscillator can be connected to CLK. When an external clock is used, OSC_EN should be taken high to disable the oscillator. When OSC_EN is low and the on-chip oscillator is used, CLK provides an unbuffered clock output. The circuit provides for a secondary charge pump driver. The buffered BCLK output can be used (with four external components) to provide a higher supply, both for those system functions that require it and for those GaAs PAs that need a more negative bias than is made possible by inverting the existing supply. This is facilitated by use of single-cell Li-ion batteries. Figure 14 shows the TPS9103 in a typical application.

dimensioning of the external charge pump For systems in which the bias voltage requirement is not met by inverting the power rail, the BCLK output can be used (with four passive components) to generate a higher VDD. The higher voltage is then inverted as before to produce the bias voltage. This voltage is also available for other parts of the main circuitry (see Figure 16). With the TPS9103, an external charge pump could be used to increase the voltage at VDD , thereby deriving a higher negative voltage at GATE_BIAS than would otherwise be available.
