The LTC
®
4400-1 is a SOT-23 RF power controller for fast
turn-on RF power amplifiers operating in the 300MHz to
2.7GHz range. Examples include the Hitachi PF08109B,
PF08122B, PF08123B, PF08107B and RF Micro Devices
RF3108. For slow turn-on RF power amplifiers refer to the
LTC4401-1/LTC4401-2.
RF power is controlled by driving the RF amplifier power
control pin and sensing the resultant RF output power via
a directional coupler or capacitive tap. The RF input
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 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 <10µA.
A dual control channel version (LTC4400-2) is also
available in an 8-pin MSOP package.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating temperature range
are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical
process controls.
Note 3: Slew rate is measured open loop. The slew time at V
PCA/B
is
measured between 1V and 2V.
Note 4: Maximum DAC zero-scale offset voltage that can be applied to PCTL.
Note 5: This is the time from SHDN rising edge 50% switch point to
V
PCA
= 0.25V.
Note 6: Guaranteed by design. This parameter is not production tested.
Note 7: Includes maximum DAC offset voltage and maximum control
voltage.
Note 8: Bandwidth is calculated using the 10% to 90% rise time:
BW = 0.35/rise time
