The AFE20408 is a highly integrated
power-amplifier (PA) monitor and control device capable of temperature, current, and
voltage supervision.
The AFE20408 bias controller is based
around eight digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with programmable output ranges.
The eight gate bias outputs are switched on and off through dedicated control pins.
The gate bias switches are designed for fast response and enable correct power
sequencing and protection of depletion-mode transistors, such as GaAs and GaN.
The AFE20408 supervisor is based
around an accurate multichannel analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The device
integrates two high-voltage inputs, two high-side current-sense amplifiers and an
accurate on-chip temperature sensor.
The function integration and wide
operating temperature range make the AFE20408 an excellent choice as an all-in-one,
bias control circuit for power amplifiers. The flexible DAC output ranges and
built-in sequencing features let the device be used as a biasing controller for a
large variety of transistor technologies, such as LDMOS, GaAs, and GaN.
