LMV242  
Dual Output, Quad-Band GSM/GPRS Power Amplifier  
Controller  
General Description  
Features  
n Support of InGaP HBT, bipolar technology  
n Quad-band operation  
The LMV242 is a power amplifier (PA) controller intended for  
use within an RF transmit power control loop in GSM/GPRS  
mobile phones. The LMV242 supports all single-supply PA’s  
including InGaP, HBT and bipolar power amplifiers. The  
device operates with a single supply from 2.6V to 5.5V.  
n Shutdown mode for power save in RX slot  
n Integrated ramp filter  
n 50 dB RF detector  
Included in the PA controller are an RF detector, a ramp filter  
and two selectable output drivers that function as error am-  
plifiers for two different bands. The LMV242 input interface  
consists two analog and two digital inputs. The analog inputs  
are the RF input, Ramp voltage input. The digital inputs  
perform the function of “Band Select” and “Shutdown/  
Transmit Enable” respectively. The “Band Select” function  
enables either of two outputs, namely OUT1 when BS =  
High, or output OUT2 when BS = Low. The output that is not  
enabled is pulled low to the minimum output voltage. The  
LMV242 is active in the case TX_EN = High. When TX_EN  
= Low the device is in a low power consumption shutdown  
mode. During shutdown both outputs will be pulled low to the  
minimum output voltage. Individual PA characteristics are  
accommodated by a user selectable external RC combina-  
tion.  
n GPRS compliant  
n External loop compensation option  
n Accurate temperature compensation  
n LLP package 3x3 mm and fully tested die sales  
Applications  
n GSM/GPRS/TDMA/TD_SCDMA mobile phone  
n Pulse RF control  
n Wireless LAN  
n GSM/GPRS power amplifier module  
n Transmit module  
The LMV242 is offered in fully tested die form as well as in a  
10-lead LLP package and is therefore especially suitable for  
small footprint PA module solutions.

voltage (VAPC) of the PA is of no consequence to the overall  
transfer function. It is a function of the controller’s VRAMP  
voltage. Based upon the value of VRAMP, the PA controller  
will set the gain control voltage of the PA to a level that is  
necessary to produce the desired output level. Any tempera-  
ture dependency in the PA gain control function will be  
eliminated. Also, non-linearity’s in the gain transfer function  
of the PA do not appear in the overall transfer function (POUT  
vs. VRAMP). The only requirement is that the gain control  
function of the PA has to be monotonic. To achieve this, it is  
crucial, that the LMV242’s detector is temperature stable.  
Application Section  
POWER CONTROL PRINCIPLES  
The LMV242 is a member of the power loop controller family  
of National Semiconductor, for quad-band TDMA/GSM solu-  
tions. The typical application diagram demonstrates a basic  
approach for implementing the quad-band solution around  
an RF Power Amplifier (PA). The LMV242 contains a 50 dB  
Logamp detector and interfaces directly with the directional  
coupler.  
The LMV242 Base Band (control-) interface consists of 3  
signals: TX_EN to enable the device, BS to select either  
output 1 or output 2 and VRAMP to set the RF output power to  
the specified level. The LMV242 gives maximum flexibility to  
meet GSM frequency- and time mask criteria for many dif-  
ferent single supply Power Amplifier types like HBT or Mes-  
FET in GaAs, SiGe or Si technology. This is accomplished by  
the programmable Ramp characteristic from the Base Band  
and the TX_EN signal along with the external compensation  
capacitor.  
Typical PA Closed Loop Control Setup  
A typical setup of PA control loop is depicted in Figure 1.  
Beginning at the output of the Power Amplifier (PA), this  
signal is fed, usually via a directional coupler, to a detector.  
The error between the detector output current IDET and the  
ramp current IRAMP, representing the selected power setting,  
drives the inverting input of an op amp, configured as an  
integrator. A reference voltage drives the non-inverting input  
of the op amp. Finally the output of the integrator op amp  
drives the gain control input of the power amplifier, which  
sets the output power. The loop is stabilized when IDET is  
equal to IRAMP . Lets examine how this circuit works in detail.  
POWER AMPLIFIER CONTROLLED LOOP  
This section gives a general overview and understanding of  
how a typical Power Amplifier control loop works and how to  
solve the most common problems confronted in the design.  
General Overview  
The key benefit of a PA control loop circuit is its immunity to  
changes in the PA gain control function. When a PA control-  
ler is used, the relationship between gain and gain control  
20079528  
FIGURE 1. PA Control Loop  
11  
www.national.com  
Using a closed loop to control the PA has benefits over the  
use of a directly controlled PA. Non-linearity’s and tempera-  
ture variations present in the PA transfer function do not  
appear in the overall transfer function, POUT vs. VRAMP The  
response of a typical closed loop is given in Figure 3. The  
shape of this curve is determined by the response of the  
controller’s detector. Therefore the detector needs to be  
accurate, temperature stable and preferably linear in dB to  
achieve a accurately controlled output power. The only re-  
quirement for the control loop is that the gain control function  
of the PA has to be monotonic. With a linear in dB detector,  
the relation between VRAMP and PA output power becomes  
linear in dB as well, which makes calibration of the system  
easy.  
Application Section (Continued)  
We will assume initially that the output of the PA is at some  
low level and that the VRAMP voltage is at 1V. The V/I  
converter converts the VRAMP voltage to a sinking current  
IRAMP. This current can only come from the integrator ca-  
pacitor C. Current flow from this direction increases the  
output voltage of the integrator. The output voltage, which  
drives the VAPC of the PA, increases the gain (we assume  
that the PA’s gain control input has a positive sense, that is,  
increasing voltage increases gain). The gain will increase,  
thereby increasing the amplifier’s output level until the de-  
tector output current equals the ramp current IRAMP. At that  
point, the current through the capacitor will decrease to zero  
and the integrator output will be held constant, thereby set-  
tling the loop. If capacitor charge is lost over time, output  
voltage will decrease. However, this leakage will quickly be  
corrected by additional current from the detector. The loop  
stabilizes to IDET = IRAMP thereby creating a direct relation  
between the VRAMP set voltage and the PA output power,  
independent of the PA’s VAPC-POUT characteristics.  
Power Control Over Wide Dynamic Range  
The circuit as described so far, has been designed to pro-  
duce a temperature independent output power level. If the  
detector has a high dynamic range, the circuit can precisely  
set PA output levels over a wide power range. To set a PA  
output power level, the reference voltage, VRAMP, is varied.  
To estimate the response of POUT vs. VRAMP, PIN vs. VRAMP  
of the LMV242 should be known (POUT = PIN + attenuation  
as discussed is section 3).  
The relation between PIN and VRAMP can be constructed out  
of 2 curves:  
20079522  
ICOMP vs, VRAMP  
VOUT vs. RF Input Power (detection curve)  
FIGURE 3. Closed Loop Response  
IOUT can be calculated by dividing the VOUT of the detection  
curve by the feedback resistor used for measuring. With the  
knowledge that ICOMP = IOUT in a closed loop the resulting  
function PIN vs. VRAMP is shown in Figure 2. Extra attenua-  
tion should be inserted between PA output and LMV242’s  
PIN to match their dynamic ranges.  
The response time of the loop can be controlled by varying  
the RC time constant of the integrator. Setting this at a low  
level will result in fast output settling but can result in ringing  
in the output envelope. Setting the RC time constant to a  
high value will give the loop good stability but will increase  
settling time.  
ATTENUATION BETWEEN COUPLER AND LMV242  
DETECTOR  
Figure 4 shows a practical RF power control loop realized by  
using the National’s LMV242 with integrated RF detector.  
The RF signal from the PA passes through a directional  
coupler on its way to the antenna. Directional couplers are  
characterized by their coupling factor, which is in the 10 dB  
to 30 dB range, typical 20 dB. Because the coupled output  
must in its own right deliver some power (in this case to the  
detector), the coupling process takes some power from the  
main output. This manifests itself as insertion loss, the inser-  
tion loss being higher for lower coupling factors.  
It is very important to choose the right attenuation between  
PA output and detector input to achieve power control over  
the full output power range of the PA. A typical value for the  
output power of the PA is +35.5 dBm for GSM and +30 dBm  
for PCS/DCS. In order to accommodate these levels into the  
LMV242 detection range the minimum required total attenu-  
ation is about 35 dBm (please refer to typical performance  
characteristics in the datasheet and Figure 2). A typical  
coupler factor is 20 dB. An extra attenuation of about 15 dB  
should be inserted.

about 206 mV, so offset voltages in the DAC or amplifier  
supplying the RAMP signal will not cause excess RF signal  
output and increased power consumption.

the LMV242 can be achieved by 2 resistors RX and RY  
according to Figure 3, where  
Transmit Enable  
Power consumption requirements are supported by the  
TX_EN function, which puts the entire chip into a power  
saving mode to enable maximum standby and talk time while  
ensuring the output does not glitch excessively during  
Power-up and Power-down. The device will be active in the  
case TX_EN = High, or otherwise go to a low power con-  
sumption shutdown mode. During shutdown the output is  
pulled low to minimize the output voltage.  
Z = 20 LOG (RIN / [RIN + RY])  
or  
e.g. RY = 300results in an attenuation of 16.9 dB.  
Band Select  
To prevent reflection back to the coupler the impedance  
seen by the coupler should be 50(RO). The impedance  
consists of RX in parallel with RY + RIN. RX can be calculated  
with the formula:  
The LMV242 is especially suitable for PA control loops with 2  
PA’s. The 2 outputs to steer the VAPCS of the PA’s can be  
controlled with the band select pin. When the band select is  
LOW output2 is selected, while output1 is selected when  
band select is HIGH. The not-selected output is pulled low.  
RX = [RO * (RY + RIN)] / RY  
RX = 50 * [1 + (50 / RY)]  
e.g. with RY = 300, RIN = 50Ω  
RX = 58.  
Analog Output  
The output is driven by a rail-to-rail amplifier capable of both  
sourcing and sinking. Several curves are given in the “Typi-  
cal performance characteristics”-section regarding the out-  
put. The output voltage vs. sourcing/sinking current curves  
show the typical voltage drop from the rail over temperature.  
The sourcing/sinking current vs. output voltage characteris-  
tics show the typical charging/discharging current, which the  
output is capable of delivering at a certain voltage. The  
output is free from glitches when enabled by TX_EN. When  
TX_EN is low, the selected output voltage is fixed or near  
GND.  
FREQUENCY COMPENSATION  
To compensate and prevent the closed loop arrangement  
from oscillations and overshoots at the output of the RF  
detector/error amplifier of the LMV242, the system can be  
adjusted by means of external RC components connected  
between Comp1 and Comp2. Exact values heavily depend  
on PA characteristics. A good starting point is R = 0and  
C = 68 pF. The vast combination of PA’s and couplers  
available preclude a generalized formula for choosing these  
components. Additional frequency compensation of the  
closed loop system can be achieved by adding a resistor  
(and if needed an inductor) between the LMV242’s output  
and the VAPC input of the PA. Please contact National Semi-  
conductor for additional support.

BASEBAND CONTROL OF THE LMV242  
The LMV242 has 3 baseband-controlled inputs:  
TIMING DIAGRAM  
VRAMP signal (Base band DAC ramp signal)  
In order to meet the timemask specifications for GSM, a  
good timing between the control signals and the RF signal is  
essential. According to the specifications the PA’s RF output  
power needs to ramp within 28 µsec with minimum over-  
shoot. To achieve this, the output of the PA controller should  
ramp at the same time as the RF signal from the Base Band.  
The ramp signal sets the controllers output to the required  
value, where the loop needs a certain time to set this output.  
Therefore the ramp should be set high some time before the  
output has to be high. How much time depends on the setup  
and the PA used. If the controllers shutdown functionality is  
used, the shutdown should be set high about 6 µsec before  
the ramp is set high.  
TX_EN is digital signal (performs the function  
a
“Shutdown/Transmit Enable”).  
Band Select (BS)  
VRAMP Signal  
The actual VRAMP input value sets the RF output power. By  
applying a certain mask shape to the “Ramp in” pin, the  
output voltage level of the LMV242 is adjusting the PA  
control voltage to get a power level (POUT/dBm) out of the  
PA, which is proportional to the single ramp voltage steps.  
The recommended VRAMP voltage range for RF power con-  
trol is 0.2V to 2.0V. The VRAMP input will tolerate voltages  
from 0V to VDD without malfunction or damage. The VRAMP  
input does not change the output level until the level reaches
