    Abstract: Various aspects of this disclosure describe reducing distortion of a power amplifier by coupling a common mode signal, such as determined from a voltage supply signal of the power amplifier or output of the power amplifier, to an input of the power amplifier. A resistive digital-to-analog converter (DAC) can be coupled to the power amplifier, and a common mode signal is modulated onto differential reference voltages of the DAC, causing the common mode signal to exist at both the input and output of the power amplifier at approximately the same time. Consequently, current flowing at differential inputs of the power amplifier due to the common mode component drops to zero, causing distortions due to common mode to differential mode conversion to be reduced.

    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are related to reducing, and possibly preventing, gate inducted drain leakage for a switch. A device may comprise an amplifier and at least one transistor coupled in a feedback path of the amplifier. The device may also comprise a circuit configured to modulate a gate of the at least one transistor with a signal comprising a scaled-down and shifted version of a signal at a drain of the at least one transistor.
