PRODUCTION DATA
The PAVDD voltage is separated from the drain voltage of the power amplifier with a series PMOS transistor. The activation of the PMOS transistor connects the PAVDD voltage supply to the drain pin of the power amplifier. The PMOS transistor is driven with a voltage divider that swings from PAVDD to PAVDD(R2 / (R1 + R2)). The NMOS transistor shown in Figure 8-4 is connected to the PAON output of the AFE20408. When PAON is low, the PMOS gate is equal to the PAVDD voltage, disconnecting the PAVDD voltage from the PA. When PAON is high, the voltage divider turns on and enables the PMOS, connecting the PAVDD voltage to the PA.
