LMV242 Dual Output, Quad-Band GSM/GPRS Power Controller
July 2004
General Description
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.
Included in the PA controller are an RF detector, a ramp filter
and two selectable output drivers that function as error amplifiers 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 combination.
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.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
intended to be functional, but specific performance is not guaranteed. For guaranteed specifications and the test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2: Human body model: 1.5 kΩ in series with 100 pF.
Note 3: The output is not short circuit protected internally. External protection is necessary to prevent overheating and destruction or adverse reliability.
Note 4: Electrical Table values apply only for factory testing conditions at the temperature indicated. Factory testing conditions result in very limited self-heating of
the device such that T
