3 Description
The AMC7834 device is a highly-integrated, lowpower,
analog monitoring and control solution for
power-amplifier (PA) biasing capable of temperature,
current and voltage supervision.
The device integrates a multi-channel, 12-bit analogto-
digital converter (ADC); eight, 12-bit digital-toanalog
converters (DAC); four high-side currentsense
amplifiers that can be optionally set to operate
as part of four independent closed-loop drain-current
controllers; an accurate on-chip temperature sensor
and two remote temperature-sensor diode drivers;
four configurable general-purpose I/O ports (GPIOs);
and an accurate internal reference. The high level of
integration significantly reduces component count and
simplifies PA-biasing system designs.
The function integration and wide operatingtemperature
range of the device make it suitable as
an all-in-one, low-cost, bias control-circuit for PAs
found in multi-channel RF communication systems.
The flexible DAC output ranges and wide common
mode voltage current sensors allow the device to be
used as a biasing solution for a large variety of
transistor technologies such as LDMOS, GaAs, and
GaN. The AMC7834 feature set is similarly beneficial
in general-purpose monitor and control systems.
For applications that require a different channelcount,
additional features, or converter resolutions,

monitor and control (AMC) products. For more
