Motorola Small–Signal Transistors, FETs and Diodes Device Data
• Maintains Stable Bias Current in Various Discrete Bipolar Junction and Field
Effect Transistors
• Provides Stable Bias Using a Single Component Without Use of Emitter Ballast
and Bypass Components
• Operates Over a Wide Range of Supply Voltages Down to 1.8 Vdc
• Reduces Bias Current Variation Due to Temperature and Unit–to–Unit Parametric
Changes
• Consumes t 0.5 mW at VCC = 2.75 V
This device provides a reference voltage and acts as a DC feedback element
around an external discrete, NPN BJT or N–Channel FET. It allows the external
transistor to have its emitter/source directly grounded and still operate with a stable
collector/drain DC current. It is primarily intended to stabilize the bias of discrete RF
stages operating from a low voltage regulated supply, but can also be used to stabilize
the bias current of any linear stage in order to eliminate emitter/source bypassing and
achieve tighter bias regulation over temperature and unit variations. This device is
intended to replace a circuit of three to six discrete components and is available in a
SOT–143 package.
The combination of low supply voltage, low quiescent current drain, and small
package make it ideal for portable communications applications such as:
• Cellular Telephones
• Pagers
• PCN/PCS Portables
• PCMCIA RF Modems
• Cordless Phones
• Broadband Transceivers and Other Portable Wireless Products
