The LTC
®
1957-2 is a dual band RF power controller for
power amplifiers operating in the 850MHz to 2GHz range.
The input voltage range is optimized for operation from
a single lithium-ion cell or 3× NiMH. Several functions
required for RF power control and protection are inte-
grated in one small 10-pin MSOP package, thereby
minimizing PCB area.
The LTC1957-1 is a single output RF power controller
that is identical in performance to the LTC1957-2 except
that one output (V
PCA
) is provided. The LTC1957-1 can
be used to drive a single RF or dual channel module with
integral multiplexer. This part is available in an 8-pin
MSOP package.
RF power is controlled by driving the RF amplifier power
control pins and sensing the resultant RF output power
via a directional coupler. The RF sense 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 supply current and 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 < 1µA.

(Pin 1):
Input Supply Voltage, 2.7V to 6V. V

be bypassed with 0.1µF and 100pF ceramic capacitors.
Used as return for RF 200Ω termination.
RF (Pin 2):
RF Feedback Voltage from the Directional
Coupler. Referenced to V
IN
. A coupling capacitor of 33pF
must be used to connect to the ground referenced direc-
tional coupler. The frequency range is 850MHz to 2000MHz.
This pin has an internal 200Ω termination, an internal
Schottky diode detector and peak detector capacitor.
SHDN (Pin 3):
Shutdown Input. A logic low on the SHDN
pin places the part in shutdown mode. A logic high places
the part in autozero when TXEN is low. SHDN has an inter-
nal 150k pull-down resistor to ensure that the part is in shut-
down when the drivers are in a three-state condition.
BSEL (Pin 4): (LTC1957-2 Only)
Selects V
