integrated power control. the integrated power control circuitry provides reli- able control of saturated power by a single analog voltage (v ramp ). this control voltage can be driven directly from a dac out- put. powerstar??s predictable power versus v ramp relationship allows single-point calibration in each band. single-point calibration enables handset manufacturers to achieve si mple and efficient phone calibration in production. the rf3183 also features an integrated saturation detection circ uit, which is an industry first for standard pa module prod- ucts. the saturation detection circuit automatically monitors batt ery voltage, and adjusts the power control loop to reduce tra n- sient spectrum degradation that would othe rwise occur at low battery voltage conditio ns. prior to the implementation of the saturation detection circuit, handset desi gners were required to adjust the ramp voltage within the system software. rfmd?s saturation detection circuit reduces handset design time and ensures robust performance over broad operating conditions. rf out h(s) v batt tx_en rf in v ramp tx_en agc amplifier 9 of 20 rf3183 ds100412 7628 thorndike road, greensboro, nc 27409-9421 for sales or technical support, contact rfmd at (+1) 336-678-5570 or sales-support@rfmd.com . power and current into mismatch transmitters are often designed to operate only under perfect 50 ? loads. in the real application when a pa is subjected to mismatch conditions, performance degrades most likely in a re duction of output power, increased harmonic levels, increased transient spectrum, and catastrophic failures. rf3183 has an integrated power flattening circuit that reduces the amount of current variation under load mismatch. when a mismatch is presented to the output of the pa, its output impe dance is varied and could present a load that will increase out- put power. as the output power increases, so does current cons umption. the current consumption can become very high if not monitored and limited. the power-flattening circuit is integrated onto the cmos controller and requires no input from the user. into a mismatch, current varies as phase changes. the power-fl attening circuit monitors current through an internal sense resistor. as current changes, the loop is adjusted in order to maintain current. under nominal conditions, this loop is not act i- vated and is seemingly transparent. the result is flatter power and reduced current into mismatch as shown in the following fig - ures. test condition: v batt =3.6v, rf in =1dbm, temperature=25c, tx frequency=915mhz figure 2. rf3183 power variation under mismatch vswr 3:1 31.00 31.50 32.00 32.50 33.00 33.50 34.00 34.50 35.00 0 30 60 90 120 150 180 210 240 270 300 330 delivered ?

(eq. 1) rf3183 power is ramped up and down through the v ramp control voltage which in turn controls the collector voltage of the amplifier stages. the rf signal applied at the rf in pin must be a constant amplitude signal and should be high enough to sat- urate the amplifier in the gsm mode. the input power (p in ) range is indicated in the specifications. power levels below this range will result in reduced maximum output power and the pote ntial for more variation of ou tput power over extreme condi- tions. higher input power is unnecessary and will require more current in the circuitry driving the power amplifier and will increase the minimum output power of the rf3183. the saturation detector circuit monitors the v batt and v cc voltages and adjusts the power control loop to prevent the series- pass fet regulator from entering saturation. if the v cc regulator were to saturate, the response time would increase dramati- cally. this is undesirable because the v cc regulator must accurately follow the burs t ramp up or ramp down applied to the v ramp pin, or the transient spectrum will degrade. power ramping and timing the rf3183 should be powered on according to the power-on se quence provided in the datasheet. the power on sequence is designed to prevent operation of the ampl ifier under conditions that could cause da mage to the device or erratic operation. in the power-on sequence, there are some set-up times associat ed with the control signals of the rf3183. the most important of these is the settling time between txen going high and when v ramp can begin to increase. this time is often referred to as the ?pedestal? and is required so that the internal power contro l loop and bias circuitry can settle after being turned on. the rf3183 requires at least 1.5s or two quarter bit times for proper settling of the power control loop.. figure 5. etsi time mask for a single gsm time slot the v ramp waveform used with the rf3183 must be created such that the output power falls into this power versus time mask. the ability to ramp the rf output power to meet etsi switching transient and time mask requirements partially depends upon the predictability of output power versus v ramp response of the power amplifier. the powerstar? control in the rf3183 is very capable of meeting switching transient requirements with the proper raised cosine waveform applied to the v ramp input. the ramping waveform on v ramp must not start until after tx_en is asserted. a ramp of about 12us is required to control switching transients at high power levels. p out dbm 10 2 v cc v sat ?

system efficiency: the rf output match can be designed to improve system efficiency by presenting a non 50 ? load. output matching circuits for the rf3183 should be a compromise between system efficiency and power. ?

power variation due to temperature rf3183 output power variation due to temperature is largest at low power levels and decreases at the upper power levels. this follows the etsi specification limits which allow a larger tole rance over extreme conditions at low power levels. since output power is controlled by an analog input, factors other than the power amplifier will have an effect on total system power varia- tion. the entire system containing the rf3183 should be tested to determine whether compensation is necessary. at high tem- peratures and low battery voltages, the pa cannot support as h igh of an output power. in this condition, increasing v ramp will not provide more output power, so compensa tion may not provide the intended result. ?noise power the bias point of the rf3183 is kept constant and the gain in th e first stage is always high. this has the effect of maintainin g a consistent noise power which does not increase at reduced output power levels. for that reason, noise power is at its highest when v ramp is at its maximum. the rf3183 does not create enough noise in the receive band to cause system receive band noise power failures, but it may amplify noise from other sources. care must be taken to prevent noise from entering the power amplifier. ? loop stability and loop bandwidth variation across power levels the design of a proper power control loop involves trade-offs affecting stability, transient spectrum and burst timing. in non- powerstar? architectures, backing off power causes gain variatio n which can affect loop bandwidth. in rf3183 the loop band- width is determined by v cc regulator bandwidth and does not change over ou tput power. loop stability is maintained since amplifier bias voltage is constant. ?transient spectrum switching transients occur when the up and down power ramps are not smooth enough, or suddenly change shape. if the con- trol slope of a pa has an inflection point within the output po wer control range, or if the slope is too steep, switching trans ients will result. in rf3183 all stages are kept constantly biased an d the output power is controlled by changing the collector volta ge according to equation 1. inflection points are eliminated by th is design. in addition, the steepness of the power control slope is reduced because v ramp actively controls output power over a larger voltage range than many other power amplifiers. ?harmonics harmonics are natural products of high effi ciency, saturated power amplifiers. an idea l, class 'e', saturated power amplifier w ill produce a perfect square wave. looking at the fourier transfor m of a square wave reveals high harmonic content. although this is common to all saturated power amplifiers, there are othe r factors that contribute to harmonic content as well. with many power control methods, a peak power detector is used to rectify and sense forward power. through the rectification pro- cess, there is additional squaring of the waveform resulting in higher harmonics. the rf3183 has no need for the detector diode; therefore, the harmonics coming out of the pa should represent maximum power of the harmonics throughout the trans- mit chain. this is based on proper harmonic termination of th e transmit port. the receive port termination on antenna switch as well as the harmonic impedance from the switch itself will have an impact on harmonics. these terminations should be adjusted to correct problems with harmonics. 14 of 20 rf3183 ds100412 7628 thorndike road, greensboro, nc 27409-9421 for sales or technical support, contact rfmd at (+1) 336-678-5570 or sales-support@rfmd.com . gmsk power on/off sequence power on sequence: 1. appl y vbatt 2. apply band_sel 3. apply rfin 4. appl y mi ni mum vramp/ vbi as (~0.25v) 5. apply tx_en 6. ramp vramp for desired output power the power down sequence is the reverse order of the power on sequence. >1.5 v pa on vbatt 3.2 v to 4.5 v band_sel <0.7 v low band >1.5 v high band tx_en vramp/ vbi as 2.2v for max p out ~ 0.25 v for min p out 15 of 20 rf3183 ds100412 7628 thorndike road, greensboro, nc 27409-9421 for sales or technical support, contact rfmd at (+1) 336-678-5570 or sales-support@rfmd.com . application schematic 1 6 5 4 3 2 7 9 10 integrated power control dcs rfin band sel tx en vbatt gnd vramp gsm rfin gnd gsm rfout dcs rfout 8 supply bypass capacitor 16 of 20 rf3183 ds100412 7628 thorndike road, greensboro, nc 27409-9421 for sales or technical support, contact rfmd at (+1) 336-678-5570 or sales-support@rfmd.com . evaluation board schematic band sel gnd dcs rfin gsm rfin dcs out gsm out r4 0 ?
