DESCRIPTION
The UTC L8001 is specially designed integrated circuit for
satellite receiver front-end block. It provides stable drain and gate
bias conditions for GaAs or HEMT FETs.
The UTC L8001, provide six FETs bias control respectively.
By adjusting two external resistors, it can change the FET’s bias
current to optimize the satellite receiver front end block
performances.
It generates the required negative voltage to bias the gate of
GaAs FET, and internally provides protection circuit that can
protect the FET devices during supply voltage transient. So it is
very popular in satellite receiver front end block.

TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT
There are three major functions provided by L8001G: support negative voltage, bias control circuit, and FET
protesting circuit.
The negative voltage is generated using internal oscillator. It only needs an ac coupled capacitor CNB 47nF and a
negative voltage bypass capacitor CSUB 47nF.
The bias control circuit is used to establish a stable bias current for FETs. It’s bias current can be adjusted by
external resistor Rcal.Rcal1 resistor is used to set ID1, ID2, ID3 in L8001G. Rcal2 resistor is used to set ID4, ID5, ID6 in
L8001G. if the same drain current is required for all FETs then pins Ical1 and Ical2 can be wired together and
shunted to ground by a single resistor of half normal value.
The L8001G devices have been designed to protect the external FETs from adverse operating conditions. With a
JFET connected to any bias circuit, the gate output voltage of the bias circuit can not exceed the range -2.5V to 0.7V,
under any conditions including powerup and powerdown transients. Should the negative bias generator be shorted
or overloaded so that the drain current of the external FETs can no longer be controlled, the drain supply to FETs is
shut down to avoid damage to the FETs by excessive drain current. The following diagrams show the L8001G in
typical LNB applications. Within each FET gain stage the numbering system indicates how the bias stages relate to
the application circuits. This is important when RCAL values are used to set differing drain currents.
