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 m
.
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.
