Circuit Connectivity
Protection Circuit
The PA includes circuitry to protect against input DC overcurrent, device over temperature, output
RF overvoltage and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) protection. The protection signals are
combined by U133, a 3 inputs OR gate logic chip, and will shut the driver down under a fault
condition.
Input DC overcurrent protection (OCP): U91 is the DC current sensor chip, which can handle a
maximum of 10A. The output of the current sensor ship is a current sense signal that goes thru
buffer OP U122 and is compared to a reference voltage. The reference voltage is set with R101 and
