HMC980LP4ETR

HMC980LP4E is an active bias controller that can automatically adjust the gate voltage of an external amplifier to achieve constant drain current. Using an integrated controller, this device allows safe power-up/power-down, and disable/enable of an external amplifier, ensuring the safe powering of the amplifier. This device can be used to bias any enhancement or depletion type class A amplifier operating with drain voltages from 5V to 16.5V and drain currents upto 1.6A. It allows stable RF amplifier biasing over supply, temperature, and process variations, and eliminates the required calibration procedures usually employed to prevent RF performance degradation due to variations in amplifier drain current. Includes application like microwave radio and very small aperture terminals (VSATs), military and space, test instrumentation, fibre optic modulator driver biasing, CATV laser driver biasing, cellular base station, wireless infrastructure equipment etc.
