Low-Noise, Regulated, -2V GaAsFET Bias
The MAX840/MAX843/MAX844 low-noise, inverting
charge-pump power supplies are ideal for biasing
GaAsFETs in cellular telephone transmitter amplifiers.
They operate with inputs down to 2.5V.
The MAX840 offers both a -2V preset output and a -0.5V
to -9.4V adjustable output. The MAX843/MAX844 use
an external positive control voltage to set the negative
output voltage. Input voltage range for all the devices is
2.5V to 10V, and output current is 4mA with VIN > 2.7V.
These circuits can operate with small capacitors, as low
as 0.22µF.
An internal linear regulator reduces the MAX840’s output voltage ripple to 1mVp-p. With a well-filtered control
voltage (VCTRL), the MAX843/MAX844 also achieve less
than 1mVp-p typical output ripple. Supply current is
750µA, and reduces to less than 1µA in shutdown
(MAX840/MAX843). The MAX844’s unregulated output
is active in shutdown, with the charge pump switching at
20kHz. It provides a low-power LCD supply.

______________________________________________________________Pin Description
MAX840/MAX843/MAX844
Low-Noise, Regulated, -2V GaAsFET Bias
_______________Detailed Description
The MAX840/MAX843/MAX844 are low-noise, inverting,
regulated charge-pump power supplies designed for
biasing GaAsFET devices, such as power-amplifier
modules in cellular handsets.
The applied input voltage (VIN) is first inverted to a negative voltage at NEGOUT by a capacitive charge pump.
This voltage is then regulated by an internal low-noise
linear regulator, and appears at OUT (Figure 1). The
minimum (most negative) output voltage achievable is
the inverted positive voltage, plus the 0.6V required by
the post-regulator. For the MAX840, the linear regulator
reduces ripple noise induced by the charge-pump
inverter to 1mVp-p at VOUT. In addition, the linear regulator’s excellent AC rejection attenuates noise from the
incoming supply.
__________Applications Information
Setting the Output Voltage
For the MAX840, select either a fixed or adjustable
output voltage. Connect FB directly to GND for a fixed
-2V output (Figure 2a). Select an alternate output voltage by connecting FB to the midpoint of a resistor
voltage divider from OUT to GND (Figure 2b). VIN
must be 0.6V above the absolute value of V OUT to
allow proper regulation. The output voltage is calculated from the formula below. Choose R2 to be between
100kΩ and 400kΩ.
VOUT = (-0.5V)(1 + R2 / R1)
For the MAX843/MAX844, set the output voltage by
connecting a resistor voltage divider between OUT and
a positive control voltage (VCTRL) (Figure 2c).
VOUT = -VCTRL (R2 / R1)
Capacitors
Use capacitors with low effective series resistance
(ESR) to maintain a low dropout voltage (VIN - |VOUT|).
The overall dropout voltage is a function of the charge
pump’s output resistance and the voltage drop across
the linear regulator (N-channel pass transistor). At the
100kHz switching frequency, the charge-pump output
resistance is a function of C1 and C2’s ESR. Therefore,
minimizing the ESR of the charge-pump capacitors
minimizes the dropout voltage.
The output resistance of the entire circuit is approximately:
ROUT = RO + 4 x ESRC1 + ESRC4 +
1 / (fS x C1) + R(linear regulator)
where [RO + R(linear regulator)], the effective resistance
of the internal switches and the resistance across the
linear regulator, is approximately 71Ω at VIN = 2.5V,
48Ω at VIN = 5V, and 40Ω at VIN = 10V.
C1, C2, and C3 should be 1µF capacitors with less than
0.8Ω ESR. C4 should be a 10µF capacitor with less
than 0.2Ω ESR. Smaller capacitor values can be used
(C1 = C2 = C3 = 0.22µF, C4 = 4.7µF) with a small
increase in output noise and ripple (Figure 2d). All
capacitors should be either surface-mount chip tantalum or ceramic types. External capacitor values can be
adjusted to optimize size and cost.
Layout and Grounding
Good layout is important, primarily for good noise performance. Take the following steps to ensure good layout:
1) Mount all components as close together as possible.
2) Keep traces short to minimize parasitic inductance
and capacitance. This includes connections to FB.
3) Use a ground plane.
Shutdown Mode
Noise and Ripple Measurement
The MAX840/MAX843/MAX844 feature a shutdown
mode that reduces the supply current to 1µA max over
temperature (300µA max for the MAX844). When the
MAX840/MAX843 are in shutdown, the outputs (OUT,
NEGOUT) and the charge-pump oscillator are disabled. When the MAX844 is in shutdown, only the linear regulator is disabled and the NEGOUT output
remains enabled. However, the charge-pump oscillation frequency is reduced to 20kHz, reducing the
available power at NEGOUT. The output voltage at
NEGOUT can be used to bias an LCD while in shutdown.
Accurately measuring the output noise and ripple is a
challenge. Slight momentary differences in ground
potential between the MAX840/MAX843/MAX844 circuit
and the oscilloscope (which results from the charge
pump’s switching action) cause ground currents in the
probe’s wires, inducing sharp voltage spikes. For best
results, measure directly across the output capacitor
(C4). Do not use the ground lead of the oscilloscope
probe; instead, remove the probe’s tip cover and touch
the ground ring on the probe directly to C4’s ground
terminal. You can also use a Tektronix chassis-mount
test jack (part no. 131-0258) to connect your scope
probe directly. This direct connection gives the most
accurate noise and ripple measurement.
