FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION General • The maximum output voltage at pin VINT(O) to protect the power module: the limiting value of VINT(O) can be set to 4, 3.3 or 2.55 V, depending on the contents of the limiter register (bits Lim1 and Lim0). This limiting results in a ringing at VINT(O) (typ. 200 mV peak-to-peak value) but it will not be transferred to the antenna because the power module is in saturation. The limiter register bits Lim1 and Lim0 can be used to switch off the limiter option (see Table 5). This CMOS device integrates operational amplifiers, two digital-to-analog converters and a serial bus interface to implement an ‘Integrating-Controller’ (see Fig.1). It is designed to control both the power level and the up- and down-ramping of GSM/PCN transmit bursts. The GSM/PCN power-up and power-down ramping curves are generated on-chip, using an internal clock frequency of 1 2.166 MHz T cy = ------- , that is generated internally by f clk • The home position at VINT(O): the integrator output voltage at home position (PD = HIGH and TRIG = LOW) is programmed by means of the VHOME register. Bits Vh5 to Vh0 are fed into a 6-bit DAC that generates a part of VHOME. dividing the external 13 MHz clock signal by six. Generally, the power amplifier is ramped-up after a rising edge on pin TRIG and ramped-down after a falling edge. • The temperature behaviour of the home position: bits DVh1 and DVh0 can be used to compensate temperature dependencies (−2 or −4 mV/K) of the control curves of the power module. This completes the setting of VHOME. The content of the power level register (bits PL7 to PL0) determines which of the 2 × 256 possible values the top of the burst will have. To match the controller to different power modules and sensors several parameters must be adapted. The following parameters influence the performance of the transmission system: • The KICK voltage: the 6 bits of the VKICK register (Vk5 to Vk0) determine the differential integrator input voltage just after a ramp-up starting signal is detected. • The external capacitor C1 in Fig.1 determines the maximum bandwidth of the power control loop, 1997 Nov 19 13 VSSA 4 Philips Semiconductors Preliminary specification Power amplifier controller for GSM and PCN systems The register information is written via a 3-wire serial bus (see Sections “Serial bus programming” and “Data format”). PCF5077T When the chip is used in the burst mode, it is important to switch on the PCF5077T before the power module or the RF power. Otherwise it is possible that a positive spike at VINT(O) will open the power module. The output of pin DF is for general purpose which can have three different states (LOW, HIGH and 3-state), depending on the values of bits DF0 and DF1 in the serial register. A safe value is tON = 200 µs between the switching on of the PCF5077T and the switching on of the power module respectively the next TRIG (see Fig.3). Dual supply pins are provided for the analog and digital blocks. PD = HIGH The whole chip is active. CLK13 clocks the internal state machine as well as the SC-adder and slope generator. Every change at TRIG is recognized if the master clock is running. The contents of the serial bus registers are processed. If the master clock is switched off during power-up, the state machine is stopped and the output of the SC-adder and slope generator becomes undefined. Nevertheless, by reactivating the master clock, the output of the SC-adder and slope generator will settle to the old values again. Reset function After switching on the power supply, the on-chip reset is active for maximal 50 µs when the rising slope of VDDD has reached 1.5 ±0.4 V. During this reset, all controllers are set to the home position and the registers are set to their default values. If the supply voltage drops below the reset threshold a constant reset will appear. Operating conditions PD = LOW The analog integrating controller The serial bus interface is operating, e.g. all registers can be programmed but no effect will be seen on any pin. The contents of the registers are passed to the rest of the circuit only during power-up and with the 13 MHz master clock applied. The analog integrating controller consists of two operational amplifiers (OP1 and OP4) and a comparator. OP1 amplifies the sensor signal and OP4 is used to form a differential integrator. The comparator is used to limit the integrator output voltage to the value selected by bits Lim1 and Lim0 in the limiter register. If the low-swing input buffer at pin CLK13 is switched off, neither the SC-adder nor the slope generator will function. This means that after the chip is powered-up, the outputs have to settle again to the programmed register values. The settling time is dominated by the slow power-up of the band gap of typically 50 µs. 1997 Nov 19 A (Schottky) diode D1 as external rectifier is connected to pin VS. The SC-adder block generates the voltage for the ramping of the power module.The differential integrator integrates the difference of this voltage and the voltage detected at the diode. The integrator output voltage VINT(O) is used to control the power amplifier module. 5 Philips Semiconductors Preliminary specification Power amplifier controller for GSM and PCN systems Table 1 PCF5077T Definition of some voltages used in Figs 1 and 3 SYMBOL DESCRIPTION Vref reference voltage, typically 1.25 V VD1 voltage over the sensor diode D1 VPL voltage determining the power level; it is generated in the Switched Capacitor (SC)-adder block if switch DACA is closed (i.e. if the signal DACA is HIGH) VVS voltage at pin VS when RF is rectified by the sensor diode D1 VBVS amplified voltage from pin VS VKICK voltage determining the kick level; it is generated in the SC-adder block if switch KICKA is closed (i.e. if the signal KICKA is HIGH) VHOME voltage determining the home position voltage; if HPA signal is active, the output of DAC6 plus temperature compensation is amplified and appears at the output of OP4 (pin VINT(O)) VQRS low voltage at the output of the SC-adder block which causes a ramp-down with a shortened tail if switch QRSA is closed (i.e. if the signal QRSA is HIGH) VRFIN input signal to the power amplifier open (HPA + DC is either HPA switch or DC bit). Switch HPA is closed when there is no home position. Due to the negative differential input voltage VKICK, the integrator output will start to rise. After 18Tcy (time C) the output of DAC8 is connected to the SC-adder and slope generator block. The input of the 8-bit DAC comes from bits PL7 to PL0 in the power level register. The slope generator will generate a smooth curve between the former and the new output value of the SC-adder block. The power amplifier is ramped-up via the integrator in approximately 22Tcy. Ramp generation (see Fig.3) The circuit is activated with the PD signal going HIGH before time mask AS and deactivated after ramping down, e.g. at time GS to HS. For this usual ‘power-down burst mode’ application in GSM/PCN mobile stations, the RF input power at the power module must be activated between time AS and BS (when the home position at VINT(O) has already reached its stable value) and deactivated between time GS and HS. This is necessary for many types of power modules to meet the −70 dB margin. This condition is stable as long as TRIG remains HIGH. Two clock periods after a falling edge at TRIG the ramp-down is started (time E). The SC-adder output voltage will change to VQRS (−100 mV), because DACA becomes inactive and QRSA active. This causes a ramp-down with a shortened tail. The slope generator again generates a smooth curve between the new SC-adder output voltage and the old SC-adder output voltage. A ramp-up is started by a rising edge of the TRIG signal. The TRIG signal and all other internal signals are delayed by two clock periods (2Tcy) with respect to the signal at pin TRIG. The timing diagram shows a possible relationship between the chip timing (time B to G) relative to the GSM-mask (AS to HS). However, the user is free to choose the rising and falling edge of TRIG independently so that the mask is not violated. The slope generator must have reached its final value at 38Tcy after the recognized falling edge of TRIG because the HPA signal is activated again and by that turning the integrator into its ‘home position’ (time G). The integrator output voltage will be regulated once more to the value defined in the VHOME register. DESCRIPTION OF THE SIGNALS STARTING AT A STABLE HOME VINT(O) AT TIME B − 2Tcy POSITION OF The integrator output voltage is regulated to the value defined in the VHOME register. The output of the slope generator is connected to the negative input VINT(N) of operational amplifier OP4 (VKICK is defined by bits Vk5 to Vk0 in the VKICK register). Two clock periods after a rising edge on pin TRIG, the integrator start condition circuitry is turned off and OP4 is switched into an integrator configuration (time B).

The fully static CMOS design uses virtually no current when the bus is inactive. The bus is also programmable during power-down. Serial bus programming A simple 3-wire unidirectional serial bus is used to program the circuit. The 3 wires are DATA, CLK and STROBE. The data sent to the device is loaded in bursts framed by STROBE. Programming clock edges and their appropriate data bits are ignored until STROBE goes active LOW. Data format Data is entered with the most significant bit (MSB) first. The leading 10 bits p15 to p6 are the data field, the following bits p5 and p4 form the subaddress, while the last 4 bits p3 to p0 are the device address field. The PCF5077T uses only one of the available addresses. The format is given in Table 2. The last four address bits are decoded on the active STROBE edge. This produces an internal load pulse to store the data in one of the addressed registers. To avoid erroneous circuit operation, the STROBE pulse is not allowed during internal data reads by the rest of the circuit. This condition is guaranteed by respecting a minimum STROBE pulse width after data transfer. The correspondence between data and address fields is given in Table 3 and the description in Table 4. Only the last 16 bits serially clocked into the device are retained within the programming register. Additional Table 2 PCF5077T All three registers in Table 3 are set to 00H during reset.

A dynamic range of about 10 dBm can be switched by this manner. APPLICATION INFORMATION Direct power control with ramping function (DC = 1) The circuit offers a useful feature to control power levels close to the saturation region of the external power module. Vs : Vpeak is the ratio of sensor signal to slope generator output voltage effective at the integrator output (OP4). Table 7 This flexibility consists in the direct control on the power level by setting bit DC to logic 1. In this condition, the external control loop is switched off by disabling the gain path from OP1. The ramping shape of the signal to be transmitted as well as its final level are driven only by the internally generated control signal from the slope generator. In this way transient effects to recover active components from deep saturation are avoided. The relative error on the absolute value of output power is quite limited, as a power amplifier is less sensitive to temperature variation in its saturated region. However, this way of operating may increase the phase error. Gain factors DR1 DR0 VS : Vpeak 0 0 1:1 0 1 2:1 1 0 5:1 1 1 10 : 1 Additional application information Evaluation kits with software and demonstration board are available for the PCF5077T together with Philips power modules BGY206, CGY2010, CGY2020 and CGY2021 for GSM and PCN, which will provide help for applications. Increased dynamic range Very little bus traffic is required for the PCF5077T because the ramping curves are generated on-chip. VKICK and VHOME define the start conditions for up-ramping. VPL determines the power levels. TRIG is the trigger for up and down-ramping. The PCF5077T is able to control a dynamic range of 30 dBm by switching the gain factor of the sensor amplifier and the resolution of DAC8. This range corresponds to a maximum peak-to-peak voltage of 3 V measured at the sensor diode. Figure 7 shows the voltage at the sensor diode (VS) versus the output power (P) of the Power Amplifier (PA) with a directional coupler of 20 dB attenuation. The maximum voltage of 3 V is reached when the output power is 35 dBm. The non-linear behaviour of the control curves of the power modules have a big influence on the loop. Start conditions in the flat area of the control curve are critical and need some attention. Initially VINT(O) will be at the home position. The HPA switches release the regulator. The integrator is moved into the active part of the control curve. This is achieved by integrating VKICK. When VINT(O) has reached the active region of the control curve the loop is closed and the circuit is able to follow the ramping function generated by a voltage step to the slope generator. The step height VPL determines the power of the transmit burst. Down-ramping is started at the slope generator input by a voltage step from VPL back to VQRS. The loop follows the leading function for down-ramping until the RF sensor measures zero. The reason for VQRS is to shorten the tail of the slope. The sensor voltage for power level lower than 13 dBm, as necessary for GSM Phase 2 and DCS1800, is lower than 200 mV. An 8-bit DAC would not be sufficient to cover the complete dynamic range. Therefore bits DR0 and DR1 are used to switch the power range that can be controlled with the controller (see Table 7). REDUCED VOLTAGE STEPS OF POWER LEVEL DAC8 (DR0 = 1) The DR0 bit is used to switch resistor R9 (switch DR0 is closed) at the integrator input (OP4). The ratio of the DAC8 range to the sensor signal voltage is therefore halved and the power corresponding to one LSB of DAC8 is reduced by 3 dB. With this setting the power module can be controlled more accurately for low output power levels. Figures 8 and 9 show the results of measurements on the up and down-ramping where REF is the reference level of the power in the time slot, ATTEN is the attenuation of the input instrument for not to destroy the instrument itself, RES BW is the resolution bandwidth, VBW is the video bandwidth, CENTER is the carrier frequency for the burst that has been measured and SWP is the sweep time used for the measurement. GAIN FACTOR OF OP1 (DR1) Bit DR1 switches (switch DR1 is closed) the ratio of the capacitances at OP1. The gain factor for the sensor amplifier is five times higher when DR1 is in high state. 1997 Nov 19 PCF5077T 15 Philips Semiconductors Preliminary specification Power amplifier controller for GSM and PCN systems PCF5077T VKICK must be reduced for low level of VPL to avoid that both voltages become equal. Setting VKICK to minimum value for the lowest power level can be sufficient. ADJUSTMENT OF THE HOME POSITION The 6-bit DAC for VHOME determines the start point of the burst in the time template. Curve 2 in Fig.8 shows what happens when VHOME is too low. The burst starts too late and the up-ramping of the power is too steep. The steep up-ramping results in a wide transient spectra. The RF input power shall be switched off when the TRIG signal is LOW to keep the −70 dB margin before the burst. At low power level the burst will start later because of the bend sensor curve (see Fig.7). The trigger pulse has to be started up to 3 bits earlier for the lowest power level to avoid that the power is ramped up too late for the first data bits of the burst. The home position has to be adjusted for each mobile phone because of DAC tolerances and individual PA characteristics. LIMIT FOR CORRECT DOWN-RAMPING The maximum RF power that the power module in saturation is able to deliver depends on RF input power, transmit frequency, supply voltage, temperature and load impedance. The maximum VPL must be matched to the worst case output power and then reduced by 1 dB when the PCF5077T is used in closed loop mode. The temperature coefficients for VHOME (−2 and −4 mV/K) are used to compensate the temperature shift of the PA control curve. Therefore the PA and the controller shall be placed nearby on the printed-circuit board. Additionally it has to be considered that the temperature of the PA and PCF5077T are different because the PA heats up itself. Software may help to adapt VHOME to different temperatures. Curve 2 in Fig.9 shows what happens when the PA is driven into saturation. The down-ramping of the power is getting too steep and therefore the transient spectra will be too wide. The 1 dB margin is necessary because of the flat PA control curve at high power level. The loop needs more time to reduce the power during the down-ramping and the control voltage increases. The high control voltage forces the power quickly down when the steep region of the control curve is achieved. The steep down-ramping results in a wide transient spectra. ADJUSTMENT OF VKICK After the falling edge of HPA the integrator starts to increase the control voltage up to the position of VKICK where the PA should have reached its active region. Increasing VKICK at high power level makes the up ramping of the burst smoother and improves the transient spectra.

There is no soldering method that is ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and surface mounted components are mixed on one printed-circuit board. However, wave soldering is not always suitable for surface mounted ICs, or for printed-circuits with high population densities. In these situations reflow soldering is often used. • The longitudinal axis of the package footprint must be parallel to the solder flow and must incorporate solder thieves at the downstream end. Even with these conditions, only consider wave soldering SSOP packages that have a body width of 4.4 mm, that is SSOP16 (SOT369-1) or SSOP20 (SOT266-1). This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology. A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in our “IC Package Databook” (order code 9398 652 90011). During placement and before soldering, the package must be fixed with a droplet of adhesive. The adhesive can be applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe dispensing. The package can be soldered after the adhesive is cured. Reflow soldering Reflow soldering techniques are suitable for all SSOP packages. Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be applied to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement. Maximum permissible solder temperature is 260 °C, and maximum duration of package immersion in solder is 10 seconds, if cooled to less than 150 °C within 6 seconds. Typical dwell time is 4 seconds at 250 °C. Several techniques exist for reflowing; for example, thermal conduction by heated belt. Dwell times vary between 50 and 300 seconds depending on heating method. Typical reflow temperatures range from 215 to 250 °C. A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal of corrosive residues in most applications. Repairing soldered joints Fix the component by first soldering two diagonallyopposite end leads. Use only a low voltage soldering iron (less than 24 V) applied to the flat part of the lead. Contact time must be limited to 10 seconds at up to 300 °C. When using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be soldered in one operation within 2 to 5 seconds between 270 and 320 °C. Preheating is necessary to dry the paste and evaporate the binding agent. Preheating duration: 45 minutes at 45 °C. Wave soldering Wave soldering is not recommended for SSOP packages. This is because of the likelihood of solder bridging due to closely-spaced leads and the possibility of incomplete solder penetration in multi-lead devices. 1997 Nov 19 PCF5077T 20 Philips Semiconductors Preliminary specification Power amplifier controller for GSM and PCN systems PCF5077T DEFINITIONS Data sheet status Objective specification This data sheet contains target or goal specifications for product development.
