摘要: A power amplifier module can include one or more switches, a coupler module, input signal pins, and a controller having first and second output terminals. The input signal pins can receive a voltage input/output signal, a clock input signal, and a data input signal. The controller can (i) set a mode of the one or more switches using a synchronous communication protocol in which the controller outputs a synchronous clock signal on the first output terminal and a data signal on the second output terminal, when the power amplifier module is in a first operating mode, or (ii) set a mode of the coupler module using an asynchronous communication protocol in which the controller outputs a first asynchronous control signal on the first output terminal and a second asynchronous control signal on the second output terminal, when the power amplifier module is in a second operating mode.

摘要: A simplified serial interface for a communications device. The serial interface includes an RF front end and a transmit block and at least one receive block located on different dies. The receive block is activated by a clock generator that is separate than the system clock. The at least one receive block can inhibit transmission of an enable signal to the receive block and inhibit operation of an oscillator of the interface.

摘要: Improved linearity performance for multi-mode power amplifiers. A power amplifier (PA) assembly can include a radio-frequency (RF) amplification path having a first stage and a second stage, with each stage including a transistor. The PA assembly can further include a biasing circuit having a first bias path between a supply node and the base of a corresponding transistor. The PA assembly can further include a linearizing circuit implemented as either or both of a second bias path and a coupling path relative to the first bias path. The second bias path can be configured to provide an additional base bias current to the base under a selected condition. The coupling path can be configured to improve linearity of the corresponding transistor operating in a first mode while allowing a ballast resistance to be sufficiently robust for the corresponding transistor operating in a second mode.

摘要: Various implementations include circuits, devices and/or methods that provide open loop current limiting power amplifiers and the like. In some implementations, an open loop current clamp includes a trim module to provide a control value and a limiting source having respective input and output terminals. The input terminal is coupled to the trim module to receive the control value. The output terminal coupled to a control terminal of the first transistor to provide a limiting electrical level produced in response to the control value by the limiting source. The limiting electrical level substantially setting a first mode of operation for the first transistor such that the current draw of the first transistor is substantially determined by the first mode of operation and the limiting electrical level such that a voltage at an output terminal of the first transistor exerts reduced influence on the current draw.

摘要: Disclosed herein are wireless transceivers with switches to reduce harmonic leakage. In some embodiments, a transmitter system includes a power amplification system including a first power amplifier configured to amplify a signal at a first cellular frequency band and a second power amplifier configured to amplify a signal at a second cellular frequency band. The transmitter includes a switch coupled between an output of the second power amplifier and a ground potential. The transmitter includes a controller configured to, based on a band select signal, control the switch and selectively enable or disable each of the first power amplifier and the second power amplifier. Selective control of the switch can reduce harmonic leakage compared to a system that does not include the disclosed switches and controls.
