摘要:
A wave shaping circuit reduces slope magnitudes during increasing and decreasing voltage transitions. The wave shaping circuit includes a first switch that receives an input voltage having at least two voltage values where an input voltage transition between the at least two voltage values has a first slope magnitude; an inductor connected in series with the first switch; a second switch connected in a parallel arrangement with the first switch and the inductor; and a capacitor having a first end connected between the inductor and an output port and a second end connected to ground. When the input voltage begins the input voltage transition to a higher voltage value, the first switch turns on and the second switch turns off, such that the inductor limits current flow from the input voltage, decreasing a second slope magnitude of an output voltage transition to less than the first slope magnitude.

A device for controlling operation of a power amplifier includes a detector, a reference signal generator and a controller. The detector is configured to detect a voltage level of an output signal of the power amplifier with respect to a predetermined boost threshold and to generate a corresponding detection signal and a reference signal. The controller is configured to provide a supply voltage to an output transistor of the power amplifier based on a comparison of the detection signal and the reference signal, the supply voltage being a no boost voltage, which is substantially the same as a supply voltage, when the comparison indicates that the voltage level is within the predetermined boost threshold, and the supply voltage being one of multiple boost voltages when the detection signal indicates that the voltage level is beyond the predetermined boost threshold. The controller generates the boost voltages by boosting the supply voltage.

A displacement current compensation circuit is provided for diverting a displacement current, which flows between a collector and a base of a transistor when a supply voltage for the transistor transitions to a different value. The displacement current compensation circuit includes an inverting amplifier connected to the voltage source, the voltage source being configured to provide the supply voltage to the collector of the transistor; and a coupling network configured to couple an output of the inverting amplifier to the base of the transistor. The inverting amplifier is configured to divert the displacement current from the base of the transistor through the coupling network into the output of the inverting amplifier, thereby preventing the displacement current from entering the base of the transistor.

A control device provides a supply voltage to an output transistor of a power amplifier. The control device includes a detector encoder, a switch sequencer and a power switch. The detector encoder receives a detection signal indicating a negative peak voltage level of an output signal of the power amplifier, receives a reference signal indicating a critical voltage of the detection signal at which the negative peak voltage level of the output transistor is deemed to be out of voltage with reference to saturation voltage of the output transistor, compares the detection and reference signals, and outputs Boost Request and Recovery Request signals in response. The switch sequencer translates the Boost Request and Recovery Request signals into multiple control bits. The power switch coordinates switching among a no boost voltage and multiple boost voltages based on the control bits, and outputs one of these voltages as the supply voltage.
