    摘要: A Doherty amplifier (10) is operable to receive an input signal (Pin) and to provide an amplified output signal (Pout) at an amplifier output (95). The Doherty amplifier (10) comprises: first (30) and second (40) amplifier stages, each amplifier stage being switchable between an amplifying and a non -amplifying state, each amplifier stage being arranged in parallel to receive the input signal (Pin) and, in the amplifying state, to provide a respective amplified signal at a respective amplifier stage output; and an output network (50) comprising first (80) and second (90) impedance transformers, each impedance transformer being coupled at a first side with a respective amplifier stage output and being coupled together in parallel at a second side with the amplifier output (95). By using an alternative, parallel architecture, the impedance transformation ratio experienced by an amplified signal under different operating conditions is significantly reduced compared to that of a traditional architecture which uses a single, series, impedance transformer which combines and transforms the amplified signals from both amplifier stages (30, 40).

    摘要: The present document relates to amplifiers, notably multi-stage amplifiers, such as linear regulators or linear voltage regulators (e.g. low-dropout regulators) configured to provide a constant output voltage subject to load transients. An amplifier (300) is described. The amplifier (300) comprises a first amplification stage (302) configured to provide an intermediate voltage, based on an outer feedback voltage (107) and based on a reference voltage (108). Furthermore, the amplifier (300) comprises an output stage (301) configured to provide a load current at an output voltage (305) based on the intermediate voltage (528). In addition, the amplifier (300) comprises an outer feedback circuit (104) configured to derive the outer feedback voltage (107) from the output voltage (305). The output stage (301) comprises a buffer (301) configured to provide a drive voltage based on the intermediate voltage (528) and based on an inner feedback voltage derived from the output voltage (305). The buffer (301) comprises a pass device (201) which is configured to provide the load current (527) at the output voltage (305) based on the drive voltage.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus, and means for maintaining a low output common-mode voltage in a driver are provided. One example apparatus includes a first differential amplifier stage configured to provide a differential output for the apparatus; and a second differential amplifier stage configured to drive the first differential amplifier stage, the second differential amplifier stage including a pair of pre-driver amplifiers, a pair of n-stage circuits, and an input skew averaging circuit, wherein each of the pair of n-stage units is split into two half blocks. The input skew averaging circuit is configured to suppress the output common-mode voltage by driving the blocks with complementary digital inputs to average out a skew in a gate-to-source voltage of the pair of n-stage circuits. For certain aspects, two feed-forward capacitors may be added to enhance the transconductance and operating speed of main transistors of the first differential amplifier stage.
