7.1.4.1 VRAMP Signal

The actual VRAMP input value sets the RF output power of the system. By applying a certain mask shape to the VRAMP pin, the output voltage level of the LMV242x is adjusting the PA control voltage to get a power level (POUT/dBm) out of the PA, which is proportional to the single ramp voltage steps. The recommended VRAMP voltage range for RF power control is 0.2V to 2.0V. The VRAMP input tolerates voltages from 0V to VDD without malfunction or damage. The VRAMP input does not change the output level until the level reaches approximately 206mV; therefore offset voltages in the DAC or amplifier supplying the VRAMP signal do not cause excess RF signal output and increased power consumption.
