摘要: Apparatus and methods for programmable low dropout (LDO) regulators for radio frequency (RF) electronics are provided herein. In certain configurations, an LDO regulator for generating a programmable output voltage includes a regulation field-effect transistor (FET) having a drain electrically connected to the LDO regulator's output, an error amplifier that controls a gate of the regulation FET, a feedback circuit that provides a feedback signal to an inverting input of the error amplifier, an output capacitor electrically connected to the LDO regulator's output, and an alternative discharge circuit. When the output voltage of the LDO regulator is programmed from a high voltage level to a low voltage level, the alternative discharge circuit activates to discharge the output capacitor to improve the LDO regulator's transient response.

摘要: Reconfigurable output baluns for wideband push-pull amplifiers are disclosed. In certain embodiments, a mobile device includes a transceiver that generates a first radio frequency signal of a first frequency band and a second radio frequency signal of a second frequency band, and a front-end system including a push-pull power amplifier that selectively amplifies one of the first radio frequency signal or the second radio frequency signal based on a band control signal. The push-pull power amplifier includes an input balun, an output balun, and a pair of amplifiers coupled between the input balun and the output balun. The band control signal is operable to control an impedance of the output balun.
