760-870 MHz Power Amplifier Appendix A - 700/800 MHz Circuit Descriptions
A.2.2.6 Receiver DC Supplies
The exciter is supplied nominal 13.8 V through SK1-2. This input supply is then
distributed to IC1 and IC4.
IC1 is configured as a buck DC-DC converter and provides a regulated +5.2 VDC
output.
IC4 is configured as a boost DC-DC converter and provides +25 V DC output.
IC3 regulates +5.2 V supply down to +5 VDC.
IC48 regulates +5 V supply down to +3.3 VDC.
