General Description
The MAX881R low-noise, inverting power supply is designed for biasing GaAsFET power amplifiers in portable wireless applications. This device is a charge­pump inverter followed by a negative linear regulator. The input voltage range is 2.5V to 5.5V. The output is preset at -2.0V or can be set, using two resistors, to any voltage from -0.5V to (-VIN+ 0.6V). It can deliver up to 4mA. The internal linear regulator also filters the output to 1mVp-p ripple and noise.
Other features include a power-OK (POK) output that sig­nals when the negative voltage is within 7.5% of its set point. It protects the GaAsFET by not allowing power to be applied to the GaAsFET’s drain until it is properly biased. The signal can be routed either to a microcon­troller or directly to a switch at the GaAsFET drain. The MAX881R is available in a space-saving 10-pin µMAX package.

________________Detailed Description
The MAX881R, a low-noise, inverting, regulated charge­pump power supply, is designed for biasing GaAsFET devices such as power-amplifier modules in cellular handsets.
The applied input voltage (VIN) is inverted to a negative voltage at NEGOUT by a capacitive charge pump. This voltage is regulated by an internal linear regulator at OUT (Figure 1). With FB connected to GND, V
OUT
is regulated at -2V. Alternatively, use a voltage-divider at FB to adjust the output voltage between -0.5V and -(V
IN
- 0.6V) (see the section
Setting the Output Voltage
). The internal linear regulator reduces the ripple noise induced by the charge-pump inverter to 1mVp-p at OUT (circuit of Figure 3b). In addition, the excellent AC rejection of the linear regulator attenuates noise from the incoming supply.
Power-OK Signal
The MAX881R has an active-low, open-drain, power-OK (POK) output. This output goes low when OUT reaches
92.5% of the regulated output voltage. POK can be used to drive the gate of a P-MOSFET that switches power to the GaAsFET power amplifier (Figure 2), there­by ensuring that the power amplifier is not powered before the required negative bias voltage is present.
Use a 50kor larger pull-up resistor to signal a logic high when POK goes high impedance.
Shutdown Mode
The MAX881R features a shutdown mode that reduces supply current to less than 1µA over temperature. SHDN is an active-low, logic-level input. Start-up time coming out of shutdown mode is typically 0.5ms. OUT and NEGOUT are switched to GND in shutdown mode.
Applications Information
Setting the Output Voltage
Select either a fixed or adjustable output for the MAX881R. Connect FB to GND for a fixed -2V output (Figure 3). Select an alternative output voltage by con­necting FB to the midpoint of a resistor-divider from OUT to GND (Figure 4). When operating under full load (4mA), the voltage at IN should be at least 0.6V higher than the absolute voltage required at OUT. Note that the minimum input voltage required for operation is
2.5V, regardless of the desired output voltage. Choose R1 to be between 100kand 400kand cal­culate R2. For greater accuracy, use resistors with 1% or better tolerance.

Capacitors
Use capacitors with a low effective series resistance (ESR) to maintain a low dropout voltage (VIN- |V
OUT
|). The overall dropout voltage is a function of the output resistance of the charge pump and the voltage drop across the linear regulator (N-channel pass transistor). At the 100kHz charge-pump switching frequency, out­put resistance is a function of the value of C1 and the ESR of C1 and C2. Therefore, increasing C1 and mini­mizing the ESR of the charge-pump capacitors mini­mizes dropout voltage.
The output resistance of the entire circuit (in dropout) is approximately:
R
OUT
= RO+ 4 x ESRC1+ ESRC2+ 1 / (fSx C1)
+ R
(linear regulator)
Where R
(linear regulator)
(the output impedance of the
linear regulator) is approximately 2and RO(the resis-
tance of the internal switches) is typically 10. When regulating, the output resistance of the circuit is simply the linear-regulator load regulation (2mV/mA).
C1, C2, and C3 should be 0.22µF capacitors with less than 0.4ESR. C4 should be a 4.7µF capacitor with less than 0.1ESR. Larger capacitor values can be used (C1 = C2 = C3 = 1µF, C4 = 10µF) to reduce out­put noise and ripple (1mVp-p), at the expense of cost and board space. All capacitors should be either ceramic or surface-mount chip tantalum (Figures 3a and 3b).
Layout and Grounding
Good layout is important for good noise performance. To optimize the layout:
1) Mount all components as close together as possible.
2) Keep traces short to minimize parasitic inductance and capacitance, especially connections to FB.
3) Use a ground plane.
Noise and Ripple Measurement
Accurately measuring the output noise and ripple is a challenge. Slight momentary differences in ground potential between the circuit and the oscilloscope (which result from the charge pump’s switching action) cause ground currents in the probes’ wires, inducing sharp voltage spikes. For best results, measure directly across the output capacitor (C4). Do not use the ground lead of the probe; instead, remove the probe’s tip cover and touch the ground ring on the probe directly to C4’s ground terminal. This direct connection gives the most accurate noise and ripple measurement.
