GROUND 

The

 

signal

 

and

 

power

 

grounds

 

are

 

tied

 

together

 

in

 

the

 

PA

 

module.

  

4.4

 

RF ENABLE 

This

 

signal

 

is

 

the

 

logic

 

control

 

input

 

that

 

designates

 

whether

 

the

 

unit

 

is

 

in

 

transmit

 

or

 

standby

 

mode.

 

The

 

RF

 

Enable

 

line

 

is

 

pulled

 

high

 

internally

 

placing

 

the

 

PA

 

module

 

in

 

standby

 

mode.

 

If

 

the

 

pin

 

is

 

left

 

floating

 

(i.e.

 

not

 

connected),

 

the

 

unit

 

will

 

default

 

to

 

standby

 

mode.

 

Grounding

 

the

 

pin

 

(i.e.

 

a

 

voltage

 

below

 

+0.2

 

VDC)

 

places

 

the

 

unit

 

in

 

transmit

 

mode.

 

The

 

user

 

can

 

either

 

connect

 

the

 

RF

 

Enable

 

line

 

to

 

pins

 

1,

 

2,

 

6

 

&

 

8

 

on

 

the

 

CTRL/PWR

 

interface

 

connector,

 

or

 

an

 

open

 

drain

 

logic

 

line

 

capable

 

of

 

sinking

 

500

 

µ

A

 

to

 

place

 

the

 

unit

 

in

 

transmit

 

mode.

 

4.5

 

TEMP FLAG 

This

 

signal

 

is

 

an

 

output

 

to

 

indicate

 

an

 

over

temperature

 

condition

 

in

 

the

 

NuPower

 

L60T01.

 

A

 

logic

 

high

 

(+5

 

VDC)

 

indicates

 

normal

 

operation,

 

while

 

a

 

logic

 

low

 

(0

 

VDC)

 

indicates

 

an

 

over

temperature

 

condition.

 

The

 

NuPower

 

L60T01

 

incorporates

 

internal

 

logic

 

circuitry

 

that

 

turns

 

off

 

the

 

DC

 

bias

 

to

 

the

 

RF

 

transistors.

  

 

Caution:

 

The

 

amplifier

 

should

 

be

 

shut

 

down

 

and

 

allowed

 

to

 

cool

 

off

 

when

 

the

 

over

temperature

 

flag

 

is

 

set

 

low

 

to

 

avoid

 

damage

 

to

 

the

 

module.
