The simplified architecture of the ADPA7005 power amplifier is

shown in Figure 51. The ADPA7005 is a cascaded, three-stage

amplifier with a combined gain of 15.5 dB and a PSAT value of

32 dBm.

The drain current is controlled by the voltage on the VGG1 and

VGG2 pins. These pins must be connected together and driven by

a negative voltage in the −1.5 V to 0 V range (typical gate bias

voltage for a IDQ bias of 1400 mA is −0.685 V). Simplified bias pin

connections to the dedicated gain stages are shown in Figure 51.

A portion of the RF output signal is directionally coupled to a diode

for detection of the RF output power. When the diode is dc biased,

the diode rectifies the RF power and makes the RF power available

for measurement as a dc voltage at VDET. To allow temperature

compensation of VDET, an identical and symmetrically located

circuit (minus the coupled RF power) is available via VREF. The

difference of VREF − VDET provides a temperature compensated

signal that is proportional to the RF output.

To obtain optimal performance from the ADPA7005 and avoid

damaging the device, follow the recommended biasing sequences

described in the Applications Information section.
