Application Note
Special attention should be taken to properly bias up the HFETs. Power supply
sequencing is required to prevent the device from operating at 100% I
eriod of time and possibly causing damage to the device. It is recommended that for
the safest operation, the negative supply be “first on and last off.” With a negative gate
voltage present, the drain voltage can then be applied to the device. The gate voltage
can then be adjusted to have the device be used at the proper quiescent bias condition.
An optional temperature-compensation active-bias circuit is recommended for use with
the application circuit, which requires two standard voltage supplies +8V and -4V, an
is set for an optimal drain bias of +8V @ 100 mA. The circuit schematic, shown on the
right, uses dual PNP transistors to provide a constant drain current into the FET and also
eliminating the effects of pinchoff variation. Temperature compensation is achieved b
tracking the voltage variation with the temperature of the emitter-to-base junction of the
PNP transistors. Thus the transistor emitter voltage adjusts the voltage incident at the
gate of the FET so that the device draws a constant current, regardless of the
temperature. Two fixed voltage supplies are needed for operation. A Rohm dual
transistor, UMT1N, and a dual-chip resistor (8.2 kΩ) are recommended to minimize
board space and help decrease the current variability through R4 with the components
being matched to one another. The active-bias circuit can directly be attached to the
voltage supply ports in the circuit diagram as shown above (V
dd
and Vgg).
