Abstract:
A power amplifier apparatus includes: an amplifier configured to amplify an input signal; a sensing circuit connected to the amplifier and configured to sense a bias of the amplifier; and a biasing circuit connected to the sensing circuit and configured to provide a biasing current to the amplifier, wherein the sensing circuit is configured to change the biasing current based on the bias of the amplifier.
Abstract:
A switching circuit may include: the switching circuit includes a switching circuit unit including a first transistor and a second transistor connected to each other in series, the second transistor receiving a first control signal through a control terminal thereof, and an inverter connected between a control terminal of the first transistor and a first terminal of the first transistor. The inverter receives a second control signal and maintains a gate-source voltage level of the first transistor to a threshold voltage level of the first transistor or less, and levels of the first and second control signals are logically complementary to each other.
