    摘要: Techniques for biasing an amplifier using a replica circuit are disclosed. In an embodiment, a replica circuit having substantially the same topology and sizing as a push-pull amplifier circuit is coupled to a main push-pull amplifier circuit. A transistor in the replica circuit may be biased using feedback to generate a predetermined DC output voltage level, and such bias level may be applied to a corresponding transistor in the main push-pull amplifier circuit. In another embodiment, a transistor in a current bias module may be used to bias corresponding transistors in the main push-pull amplifier circuit and the replica circuit. Further techniques are disclosed for configuring the amplifier to have a non-uniform step size with finer resolution at lower power levels and coarser resolution at higher power levels to reduce power consumption at lower power levels.

    摘要: Disclosed is a cascode configuration that moves the gate of the cascode substantially without delay relative to an output node by capacitively coupling the latter onto the cascode gates. The passive coupling eliminates the need for actively driving the gates of the cascode. In some embodiments, the only circuitry needed on the cascode gate may be a biasing circuit that limits the swing on the cascode gate between Vmax and 2×Vmax, where Vmax is a transistor device rating.

The pullup driver has a drive control input, and an output for providing a pullup drive signal in a push-pull mode in response to receiving a first drive control signal on the drive control input, and in a current limited mode in response to receiving a second drive control signal on said drive control input. The pulldown driver has a drive control input, and an output for providing a pulldown drive signal in the push-pull mode in response to receiving a third drive control signal on the drive control input, and in the current limited mode in response to receiving a fourth drive control signal on the drive control input. The output stage provides a voltage on an output terminal in response to the pullup and pulldown drive signals.
