摘要: The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for detecting and preventing occurrence of a saturation state in a power amplifier. A power amplifier module can include a power amplifier including a cascode transistor pair. The cascode transistor pair can include a first transistor and a second transistor. The power amplifier module can include a current comparator configured to compare a first base current of the first transistor and a second base current of the second transistor to obtain a comparison value. The power amplifier module can include a saturation controller configured to supply a reference signal to an impedance matching network based on the comparison value. The impedance matching network can be configured to modify a load impedance of a load line in electrical communication with the power amplifier based at least in part on the reference signal.

摘要: Systems, methods and apparatus for efficient power control of an RF amplifier for amplification of a constant envelope RF signal are described. A reduction in a size of a pass device of an LDO regulator is obtained by removing the pass device of the LDO regulator from a main current conduction path of the RF amplifier. Power control is provided by varying one or more gate voltages to cascoded transistors of a transistor stack of the RF amplifier according to a power control voltage. Various configurations for controlling the gate voltages are presented by way of a smaller size LDO regulator or by completely removing the LDO regulator. In a case where a supply voltage to the transistor stack varies, such as in a case of a battery, a compensation circuit is used to adjust the power control voltage in view of a variation of the supply voltage, and therefore null a corresponding drift in output power of the RF amplifier.

摘要: The present disclosure provides systems and methods to provide a constant common mode voltage at the input terminals of a difference amplifier. A difference amplifier can receive an input signal and can deliver an amplified version of the received input signal at an output of the difference amplifier. In a system where a difference amplifier can receive an output of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), the DAC performance can deteriorate in situations where common mode voltage at the input terminals of the difference amplifier are changing. A difference amplifier including feedback circuitry can provide a constant common mode voltage at the input terminals of the difference amplifier, leading to improved performance in a system where the difference amplifier receives an input signal from a DAC.
