Embodiments of the present application disclose a power amplifier protection circuit, communication device, and method, to protect a power amplifier when an abnormal signal, such as a burr or a pulse, occurs in a circuit. The method according to an embodiment of the present application comprises: detecting and comparing, by an input detection circuit, an abnormal signal in an input signal, outputting a protection control signal, and after processing performed by a delay circuit, controlling a power amplifier to be in an off state in a pulse width of the delayed protection control signal, so that the abnormal signal passes through the power amplifier when the power amplifier is in the off state, thereby preventing the power amplifier from burning, and achieving the effect of protecting the power amplifier.
