Download Datasheet

Modesto is a low voltage step up converter design as a closed-loop bias control of GSM power amplifiers.  Modesto facilitates accurate control of the current delivered to the power amplifier through an I2C interface.  This unique topology is useful in time-division-multiple-access (TDMA) systems, such as GSM, where accurate transmit burst shaping and power control is required.  Modesto operates from a single 2.3V to 5.5V supply and typically draws 0.3mA of supply current.  The output range is from VCC to 8V with 25mV step resolution.
