Abstract:
In one embodiment, saturation of the control system of a power amplifier is limited by comparing a control voltage at a first control node against a scaled battery voltage, and then drawing an error current away from the first control node when the control voltage exceeds the scaled battery voltage. The first control node may be located after a trans-conductance amplifier in a feedback control system.
