摘要: Bias circuits and methods for silicon-based amplifier architectures that are tolerant of supply and bias voltage variations, bias current variations, and transistor stack height, and compensate for poor output resistance characteristics. Embodiments include power amplifiers and low-noise amplifiers that utilize a cascode reference circuit to bias the final stages of a cascode amplifier under the control of a closed loop bias control circuit. The closed loop bias control circuit ensures that the current in the cascode reference circuit is approximately equal to a selected multiple of a known current value by adjusting the gate bias voltage to the final stage of the cascode amplifier. The final current through the cascode amplifier is a multiple of the current in the cascode reference circuit, based on a device scaling factor representing the relative sizes of the transistor devices in the cascode amplifier and in the cascode reference circuit.

摘要: A receiver front end capable of receiving and processing intraband non-contiguous carrier aggregate (CA) signals using multiple low noise amplifiers (LNAs) is disclosed herein. A cascode having a “common source” input stage and a “common gate” output stage can be turned on or off using the gate of the output stage. A first switch is provided that allows a connection to be either established or broken between the source terminal of the input stage of each cascode. Further switches used for switching degeneration inductors, gate/sources caps and gate to ground caps for each legs can be used to further improve the matching performance of the invention.

摘要: A differential amplifier includes a positive leg, a negative leg, and biasing circuitry. The positive leg includes at least one positive leg transistor, a first positive leg degeneration capacitor, and positive leg degeneration capacitor biasing circuitry configured to bias the first degeneration capacitor during a reset period. The negative leg includes at least one negative leg transistor, a negative leg degeneration capacitor, and negative leg degeneration capacitor biasing circuitry configured to bias the negative leg degeneration capacitor during the reset period. The biasing circuitry biases current of both the at least one positive leg transistor and the at least one negative leg transistor based on capacitance of the first positive leg degeneration capacitor, capacitance of the first negative leg degeneration capacitor, and a sampling time during an amplification period. The differential amplifier may be a stage amplifier in an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC).

摘要: An apparatus includes a first amplification stage configured to amplify a first carrier signal and a second amplification stage configured to amplify a second carrier signal. The first amplification stage is direct-current (DC) coupled to the second amplification stage. First circuitry is coupled to the first amplification stage and configured to control a first gain of the first amplification stage. The first circuitry includes a first gain control transistor configured to selectively divert a first bleed current from a first output of the first amplification stage.
