摘要: Examples provide methods and apparatus for controlling a DC bias current in an RF amplifier. In one example where the RF amplifier is implemented on an amplifier die, a reference voltage is produced across a reference resistor implemented on the amplifier die, the DC bias current is measured, and a current controller, which is implemented on a controller die that is separate from the amplifier die, operates a feedback loop using the reference voltage to control a level of the DC bias current.

摘要: Low noise serial interfaces with gated clock are provided herein. In certain configurations herein, a slave device of a serial interface includes a shift register for serially shifting in an interface data signal based on timing of an interface clock signal, a control circuit (for instance, a finite-state machine) for controlling the slave device, and a register bank for storing data programmed to the slave device via the serial interface. The control circuit cuts off or gates the interface clock signal in response to determining that an interface command received over the serial interface is not intended for the slave device.
