• Manufacturer Part Number: ISL21400
• Description: Programmable Temperature Slope Voltage Reference
• Manufacturer: Intersil Corporation

Note that A
Temperature Slope Setting: Using Equation 5, which can
solve for Slope directly:
The ISL21400 device can be programmed with these
calculated parameters and perform temperature
compensation or direct control in the target circuit. If
parameters change for some reason, then the device can be
reprogrammed with new values and the circuit retested.
EXAMPLE 2. CALCULATING THE V
SLOPE
In some applications, it may be desirable to calculate what
the output voltage and temp slope are, given the
programmed register settings. Such an application could be
a closed loop system with internal calibration procedure. By
reading the registers of the ISL21400, then calculating the
V
recorded.
For the example below, let’s determine the voltage output,

Equations 2 and 5 above will be used to calculate the
answers.

Also, to solve for overall temp slope of the output:
Note that Equation 1 can be used directly to solve for output
voltage at a given temperature, in this case +85°C:
Typical Applications Circuits
LDMOS RF Power Amplifier (RFPA). The ISL21400 is used
to set the gate bias for the LDMOS transistor in a single
stage of an RFPA. Normally this is done with a DAC or digital
potentiometer with some discrete temperature
compensation circuitry. The ISL21400 simplifies this control
and allows a full range of DC bias and tempco control.
A typical circuit can be calibrated for correct bias at room
temperature (+25°C) on power-up using a microcontroller or
direct I
increased to the highest operating range, and the
Temperature Slope setting can then be adjusted to bring the
amplifier back to correct bias. Since the Temp Slope setting
has a negligible effect on the room temperature setting, the
amplifier will be biased correctly over the operating
temperature of the unit.
