摘要： A circuit for controlling the switching operation of a transistor is described. A gate driver circuit is operably connected to a control electrode of the transistor and is configured to charge and discharge the control electrode to switch the transistor on and off, respectively, in accordance with a control signal. The charging and discharging of the control electrode is done such that the corresponding transitions in the load current and the output voltage are smooth with a defined slope. A controllable switch is connected to the control electrode such that, when the switch closes, the control electrode is quickly discharged via the switch thus quickly switching off the transistor. A control logic circuit is configured to close the controllable switch for switching off the transistor when at least one of a number of conditions holds true.

摘要： A power amplifier arrangement includes a power amplifier with an input for a radio-frequency signal and an output for delivering a second radio-frequency signal. The second radio-frequency signal has a current and a voltage. A second element is configured to deliver a first signal derived from the current of the second radio-frequency signal. Furthermore, a first element is provided to deliver a second signal derived from the voltage of the second radio-frequency signal. An evaluating circuit detects in-phase components of the first and the second signal. As a result, in-phase current and voltage components can be detected together which produce the active power of the second radio-frequency signal by multiplication.

摘要： A circuit configuration for mixing a differential desired signal with a differential local oscillator signal includes two difference amplifiers which are controllable on the input side by the desired signal and cross-coupled on the output side. Currents flowing through the difference amplifiers are switched by the components of the local oscillator signal in alternation. The circuit makes a lower supply voltage possible, given the presence of only two transistor levels.

摘要： A frequency splitter circuit includes only two differential amplifiers. A clock input signal is supplied to clock signal inputs for activating the amplifiers. A respective signal of half the frequency of the clock input signal is derivable at main and auxiliary outputs. The differential amplifiers are cross-coupled. The frequency splitter circuit is operable with low supply voltage and provides high signal amplitudes at the output, high edge steepness, and low phase noise. The frequency splitter circuit can be utilized in high-frequency receivers, for example.
