15.2 Better Resistance of the LLCC68 Tx to Antenna Mismatch

15.2.1 Description

The LLCC68 platform embeds a Power Amplifier (PA) clamping mechanism, backing-off the power when over-voltage conditions are

detected internally. This method is put in place to protect the internal devices and ensure long-term reliability of the chip. Considering a

high-power operation of the LLCC68 (supporting +22dBm on-chip), these “clamping” devices are overly protective, causing the chip to

back-down its output power when even a reasonable mismatch is detected at the PA output. The observation is typically 5 to 6dB less output

power than the expected.

Note: Using the described workaround improves chip functionality, but is not required to ensure long-term reliability, which is

guaranteed with or without workaround.

15.2.2 Workaround

During the chip initialization, the register TxClampConfig should be modified to optimize the PA clamping threshold. Bits 4-1 must be set to

“1111” (default value “0100”).

This register modification must be done after a Power On Reset, or a wake-up from cold Start.

The following pseudo-code can be used as a reference to implement the fix:
