The LTC1757A-1 is a single output RF power controller
that is identical in performance to the LTC1757A-2 except
that one output (VPCA) is provided. The LTC1757A-1 can
be used to drive a single RF channel or dual channel
module with integral multiplexer. This part is available in
an 8-pin MSOP package.

Low Operating Current: 1mA
Very Low Shutdown Current: <1µA
Available in a 8-Pin MSOP Package (LTC1757A-1)
and 10-Pin MSOP (LTC1757A-2)
RF power is controlled by driving the RF amplifier power
control pins and sensing the resultant RF output power
via a directional coupler. The RF sense voltage is peak
detected using an on-chip Schottky diode. This detected
voltage is compared to the DAC voltage at the PCTL pin
to control the output power. The RF power amplifier is
protected against high supply voltage and current and
high power control pin voltages.

Internal and external offsets are cancelled over tempera-
ture by an autozero control loop, allowing accurate low
power programming. The shutdown feature disables the
part and reduces the supply current to <1µA.
