The MAX881REUB+ is a low-noise bias supply with integrated power-OK functionality, designed for GaAsFET power amplifiers in a 10-pin µMAX package. It features an inverting charge pump inverter followed by a negative linear regulator, operating within a voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V. The output voltage is preset at -2V but can be configured to any voltage from -0.5V up to just below the input voltage by adjusting two resistors. It can supply up to 4mA of current. The internal regulator ensures output ripple and noise are kept to 1mVp-p. The MAX881REUB+ includes an active-low power-OK (POK) signal that indicates when the negative voltage is within 7.5% of its set point, preventing power application to the GaAsFET drain until properly biased. The device can route this signal to a microcontroller or directly to a switch controlling the GaAsFET drain. Additional features include a 100kHz oscillator frequency, operation across -40°C to 85°C, minimal startup and ripple noise (1ms startup time, 1mVp-p), and requires only a few capacitors (one 4.7µF and three 0.22µF), with no inductors needed. It maintains output load regulation of 2mV/mA at input voltages ≥ 2.7V, with outputs capable of sourcing 0 to 4mA. Suitable applications include power management for portable devices and consumer electronics.
