PCF5078
An external Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) with10-bit
resolution is necessary to control the loop e.g. the
AUXDAC3 of the baseband interface family PCF5073x.
An integrated active filter smooths the voltage steps of the
DAC and avoids a feedthrough of the DAC harmonics into
the modulation spectra of the PA.
The DAC signal and the sensor signal are added by
operational amplifier OP1. The voltage difference of both
signals is integrated by operational amplifier OP4, which
provides the PA control voltage on pin VC. The integration
is performed by means of an external capacitance C
connected between pins VINT and VC.
The shape of the rising and falling power burst edges can
be determined by means of the DAC voltage (see Fig.3).
Power-down mode

Access (TDMA) systems, the PCF5078 must be turned off

Initial conditions and start-up
The PCF5078 has been designed to operate in bursts as
required in TDMA systems. For each time slot to be
transmitted it must be powered-up by switching on the
supply voltage. This allows a proper initialization of
switches S1 to S5.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
General
The PCF5078 integrates an amplifier for the detected RF
voltage from the sensor, an integrator and an active filter
to build a PA control loop with a small amount of passive
components.
The sensor amplifier is able to amplify signals from a RF
power detector in a range of −20 to +15 dBm. This
complies to the PA output power range of GSM and PCN
systems when a directional coupler with 20 dB attenuation
is used.
The Schottky diode for power detection (sensor) is biased
by an integrated current source of 30 µA. Variations of the
forward voltage of the diodes with the temperature have no
influence on the measured signal, because they are
cancelled by sampling around the switched capacitor
operational amplifier OP1 (see Fig.1).
During start-up switches S1, S2 and S3 are closed and
switches S4 and S5 are opened (see Fig.4).
The forward voltages on the Schottky diodes are sampled
on capacitors C1 and C2, respectively, because switch S1
is closed. Moreover, the control voltage on pin VC is
initially forced to pre-bias level V
prebias
because
switches S2 and S3 are closed and switch S4 is opened.
Switch S1 is opened after a fixed time the supply voltage
has been switched on and then the circuit is ready. This
time is defined on-chip and can be maximum 45 µs. Once
switch S1 is open, a ramp signal with a minimum
amplitude of 25 mV applied on pin VDAC determines
opening of switch S3 and closing of switch S4 with a delay
of maximum 3 µs with respect to the start of the ramp.
After opening switch S3, the control voltage on pin VC
rises in a fixed amount of time to the home position level
so biasing the PA to the beginning of the active range of its
control curve. Switch S2 remains closed during this typical
time of 2 µs. When switch S2 is opened, switch S5 is
closed allowing the transfer of any signal coming from
amplifier OP1.

PCN systems
After this preset, the control voltage is free to increase
according to the control loop if RF input is present
(see Fig.3).
For higher DAC ramp steps the delay time of opening
switch S3 (and closing switch S4) is reduced. On the
contrary, the delay time between opening switch S2 with
respect to opening switch S3 (and closing switch S4)
remains unchanged.
For a correct start-up it is required that the rising time of the
supply voltage is maximum 20 µs.
End of a burst
For a proper down ramp, the final value of the DAC input
voltage should be below the value at the beginning of the
burst and so be able to really shut-off the PA (see Fig.5).
This means the code programmed for the last bit of the
DAC down ramp (CODE

PA protection against mismatching
A second sensor amplified input is integrated into the
PCF5078 for measuring the reflected wave of the
directional coupler. The signal is added to the measured
RF power signal (see Fig.3). When mismatching at the
output of the PA occurs the power is reduced. A high
Voltage Standing W ave Ratio (VSWR) at the output of the
PA often occurs in systems where the PA is connected to
the antenna via switches with low attenuation instead of
using a duplex filter.
Home position voltage
A forward voltage of an on-chip silicon diode is provided as
the default home position voltage V
matches the requirements at the control input of most PAs
and exhibits the same temperature coefficient.
However, if another value is needed for a certain PA the
level can be adjusted by connecting external components
to pin VHOME (see Figs 10 and 11). The home position
voltage can be set between 200 and 1000 mV when using
a capacitor of 50 pF connected between pins VINT
and VC.
. This voltage

For proper operation, the supply voltage should be
switched off at least 15 µs later with respect to the end of
the down ramp on pin VDAC.

SOLDERING
Introduction to soldering surface mount packages
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology.
A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in
our
“Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages”
(document order number 9398 652 90011).
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all surface
mount IC packages. Wave soldering is not always suitable
for surface mount ICs, or for printed-circuit boards with
high population densities. In these situations reflow
soldering is often used.
Reflow soldering
Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of
fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be applied
to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or
pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement.
Several methods exist for reflowing; for example,
infrared/convection heating in a conveyor type oven.
Throughput times (preheating, soldering and cooling) vary
between 100 and 200 seconds depending on heating
method.
Typical reflow peak temperatures range from
215 to 250 °C. The top-surface temperature of the
packages should preferable be kept below 230 °C.
Wave soldering
Conventional single wave soldering is not recommended
for surface mount devices (SMDs) or printed-circuit boards
with a high component density, as solder bridging and
non-wetting can present major problems.
To overcome these problems the double-wave soldering
method was specifically developed.
PCF5078
If wave soldering is used the following conditions must be
observed for optimal results:
• Use a double-wave soldering method comprising a
turbulent wave with high upward pressure followed by a
smooth laminar wave.
• For packages with leads on two sides and a pitch (e):
– larger than or equal to 1.27 mm, the footprint
longitudinal axis is preferred to be parallel to the
transport direction of the printed-circuit board;
– smaller than 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis
must be parallel to the transport direction of the
printed-circuit board.
The footprint must incorporate solder thieves at the
downstream end.
• For packages with leads on four sides, the footprint must
be placed at a 45° angle to the transport direction of the
printed-circuit board. The footprint must incorporate
solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
During placement and before soldering, the package must
be fixed with a droplet of adhesive. The adhesive can be
applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe
dispensing. The package can be soldered after the
adhesive is cured.
Typical dwell time is 4 seconds at 250 °C.
A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal
of corrosive residues in most applications.
Manual soldering
Fix the component by first soldering two
diagonally-opposite end leads. Use a low voltage (24 V or
less) soldering iron applied to the flat part of the lead.
Contact time must be limited to 10 seconds at up to
300 °C.
When using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be
soldered in one operation within 2 to 5 seconds between
270 and 320 °C.
