    摘要: An adaptive current control circuit for reduced power consumption and minimized gain shift in a variable gain amplifier. An automatic gain control circuit provides gain control voltages in response to a gain control signal. The gain control voltages are used by the variable gain amplifier to set the gain of the output signal for wireless transmit operations. The adaptive current control circuit receives the same gain control voltages for reducing current to the variable gain amplifier during low gain operation, while providing higher currents during high gain operation. The current that is provided is a hybrid mix of proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) current and complementary to absolute temperature (CTAT) current for minimizing temperature effects on the gain. The ratio of PTAT current and CTAT current is adjustable for specific temperature ranges to further minimize temperature effects on the gain.

    摘要: A power supply noise rejection circuit for functional circuits, such as a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The power supply noise rejection circuit includes an isolation transistor connected to a voltage supply for providing an output current and voltage substantially free of noise across the full frequency range. A current source, a diode connected reference transistor with resistance means connected between its gate and drain terminals, and a dummy circuit serially connected between the voltage supply and ground generate a bias voltage that is applied to the gate of the isolation transistor. The dummy circuit mimics the DC characteristics of the functional circuit such that the output current tracks with process and temperature variations. The isolation transistor and the reference transistor can have negative threshold voltages, and the circuit can include bleed means for drawing current from the gate of the reference transistor and isolation transistor.

    摘要: Programmable linear-in-dB or linear bias current source with respect to an input voltage is provided. The linear-in-dB or linear bias current may be clipped at a minimum current level, a maximum current level, or a combination thereof. Preferably, the minimum and maximum current levels are determined by the use of one or more constant current sources. The constant current sources limit the amount of voltage applied to the gates of one or more transistors, which in turn control the output current. The use of the circuit may be used to generate linear or reverse-linear current levels with respect to an input voltage. The output of the current generator may be used as an input to a power-amplifier driver, for example.

    摘要: A new family of current mode logic (CML) gates (14) which, in one embodiment includes OR/NOR and AND/NAND gates, as well as more complex logic functions. The circuit uses a complementary signal to drive the gate of a feedback transistor (19) which has the effect of pseudo differential operation. Although it uses only single-ended inputs (A, B), because of this feedback aspect, the circuit has many of the advantages of a differential circuit such as low-voltage operation, higher immunity to noise, and less sensitivity to parasitic elements.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a single-to-differential signal transformation circuit which comprises a differential signal generation circuit which is operable to receive a single-ended signal and generate a pair of differential signals having a phase relationship associated therewith. The transformation circuit further comprises a phase analysis circuit operably coupled to the differential signal generation circuit which is operable to ascertain the phase relationship between the differential signals and generate a status indication associated therewith. In addition, a compensation circuit is operably coupled to the phase analysis circuit and is operable to alter a function of the transformation circuit based on the status indication from the phase analysis circuit such that the altered function causes the phase relationship of the differential signals which form a circuit output to be closer to 180 degrees than an initial phase relationship generated by the differential signal generation circuit. In such a manner, improved differential signal phase balance is achieved.
