HMC981LP3E v01.0411 ACTIVE BIAS CONTROLLERTypical ApplicationsFeatures Automatic Gate voltage adjustment (No Calibration • Microwave Radio & VSAT required) • Military & Space Supply Voltage: 4V to 12V • Test Instrumentation Digital Voltage: 3.3V to 5V • Fiber Optic Modulator Driver Biasing Controls both Enhancement and Depletion type • CATV Laser Driver Biasing devices • Cel ular Base Station Adjustable Drain Current up to 200mA • Wireless Infrastructure Equipment Sink/Source Gate Current Capability Optional Internal negative voltage generation that 13 can be disabled to use external negative rail Fast Enable/Disable Trigger-out Output for Daisy Chain Power-Up and Power-Down Sequencing T M 16 Lead 3x3 mm SMT Package: 9 mm² S - S R Functional DiagramGeneral Description HMC981LP3E is an active bias control er that LLE automatical y adjusts the gate voltage of an external O amplifier to achieve constant bias current. It can be R used to bias any enhancement and depletion type T amplifiers operating in Class-A regime with Drain N voltages from 4V to 12V and drain currents up to O 200mA, offering a complete biasing solution. HMC981LP3E achieves excel ent bias stability over S C supply, temperature and process variations, and eliminates the required calibration procedures usually IA employed to prevent RF performance degradation due B to such variations. The HMC981LP3E is housed in an RoHS compliant 3x3 mm QFN leadless package with an exposed backside pad to improve thermal characteristics.
