    摘要: A system including a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit is configured to (i) select a first portion of a signal based on a first offset, (ii) amplify the first portion of the signal according to a first function, and (iii) scale the amplified first portion based on a first factor to generate a first compensation for asymmetry in the first portion of the signal. The second circuit is configured to (i) select a second portion of the signal based on a second offset, (ii) amplify the second portion according to a second function, and (iii) scale the amplified second portion based on a second factor to generate a second compensation for asymmetry in the second portion of the signal.

    摘要: A circuit for compensating asymmetry in a waveform of an input signal using a piecewise approximation of a saturation curve, the circuit including a first circuit configured to output a first compensation for a first section of the saturation curve using a first function and a second circuit configured to output a second compensation for a second section of the saturation curve using a second function. The second function is different than the first function. The first compensation and the second compensation provide the piecewise approximation of a region of the saturation curve. The region includes at least the first second and the second section.

    摘要: A power amplifier with a multi-mode digital bias control circuit is provided. The power amplifier utilizes a complementary reference voltage generation circuit and a bias current-control circuit to generate a plurality of bias current levels for different output power levels. In an embodiment of the present invention, the power amplifier circuit is connected to a reference voltage and two control signals. Depending on the desired output power level, the control signals set the corresponding bias current in the amplifying transistors, to ensure sufficient linearity. The power amplifier is capable of operating at a very low quiescent current level, for example, 5 mA. As a result, a significant improvement in the power amplifier's overall efficiency is achieved, and the battery talk time of a wireless communication device is increased. The invention finds application in wireless communication devices such as CDMA, WCDMA, EDGE and WLAN mobile devices.

    摘要: A power amplifier circuit is disclosed, whose power efficiency is optimized by operating its stages in substantially close to a Class B mode by reducing the quiescent current during low driver signal levels. As the driver signal amplitude increases, the amplifier is dynamically biased to operate in a Class AB mode. A further enhancement to the power amplifier circuit includes a temperature compensation circuit to adjust the bias of the amplifier so as to stabilize the performance over a wide temperature range.

    摘要: A power amplifier circuit whose performance is optimized by operating its stages in substantially close to a Class B mode by reducing quiescent current during low driver signal levels. As the driver signal amplitude increases, the operation of the amplifier is configured to dynamically adjust to be in a Class AB mode, thereby increasing the power efficiency of the overall circuit at kiw drive levels. A further enhancement to the power amplifier circuit includes a temperature compensation circuit to adjust the bias of the amplifier so as to stabilize the performance in a wide temperature range.
