Qorvo RF power amplifier bias controllers are ideal for radar applications

Image of Qorvo QPK1522 Multi-Channel GaN Drain Controller for High-Speed Bias SwitchingThe Qorvo QPK1522 high-speed drain bias controller provides efficient drain switching, sequencing, and protection for multiple GaN power amplifiers and LNAs.

When combined with the QPK1520 gate controller and QPK1521 SPDT driver, it completes a fully integrated bias control solution that synchronizes drain biasing with gate control and RF switching. This coordinated chipset enables fast, safe bias sequencing, automated IDQ calibration, and reliable high-speed operation in demanding phased array and radar systems, while reducing system complexity and enabling scalable multi-channel front-end architectures.

Features
  • Multi-channel drain control for up to four PAs and four LNAs
  • High-speed drain switching with symmetrical rise/fall times
  • Integrated sequencing for coordinated TX/RX operation
  • I2C and SPI interface for system-level control
  • Built-in over-current and thermal protection
  • Supports IDQ calibration with companion gate controller
  • Wide input voltage support for GaN PA applications
  • Compact 6 mm × 6 mm package
Applications
  • AESA radar
  • Phased array systems
  • Electronic warfare
  • RF front-end modules (FEMs)
