    摘要: A phase shifter component is described. Inputs are arranged to selectively receive an inphase component of an in-phase (I) signal or an outphase I signal 180° out of phase with the inphase I signal, and to selectively receive an inphase component of a quadrature-phase (Q) signal or an outphase Q signal 180° out of phase with the inphase Q signal. A first gain portion includes only two transistor elements arranged to amplify the received outphase or inphase I signal. A second gain portion includes only two transistor elements arranged to amplify the received outphase or inphase Q signal. The first and second gain portions are configured to control the gain of the received outphase or inphase I signal and the received outphase or inphase Q signal, respectively, to provide a composite output signal with a desired phase shift between 0° and 360°.

    摘要: A transconductance circuit that improves linearity and output current over a wider range of input voltages than prior designs. The transconductance circuit may include first and second sets of paired differential transistors. In each set, emitters of the paired transistors may be commonly coupled to corresponding nodes of a common impedance, and collectors may be coupled to output terminals of the transconductance circuit. The circuit may further include first and second sets of doublet differential transistor pairs, each doublet pair having transistors of different sizes. Each doublet pair may have current sources coupled between commonly coupled emitters and a source potential. Respective collectors for each doublet pair may be coupled to the output terminals of the transconductance circuit. A pair of voltage followers may be provided to replicate corresponding input voltages across corresponding bases of the differential transistor pairs and the doublet transistor pairs.

    摘要: A circuit includes first and second transconductance stages that generate first and second currents, respectively, in response to an input signal. A current combiner circuit selectively couples the first current to a first output, selectively couples the second current to the first output, selectively couples the first current to a second output, and selectively couples the second current to the second output. In response to the first current being coupled to both the first and second outputs, the current combiner circuit couples the second current to both the first and second outputs. In response to the first current being decoupled from the second output, the current combiner circuit decouples the second current from both the first and second outputs. In response to the first current being decoupled from the first output, the current combiner circuit decouples the second current from both the first and second outputs.

    摘要: Systems and methods for providing a fully differential amplifier performing common-mode voltage control having reduced area and power requirements are disclosed. The amplifier disclosed comprises an additional input stage at the amplifier input which senses the common mode voltage of the amplifier's inputs and applies internal feedback control to adjust the output common-mode voltage until the input common-mode voltage matches a target voltage and thereby indirectly set the output common-mode voltage. Furthermore the internal common-mode control can be implemented in such a manner as to provide a feed-forward transconductance function in addition to common-mode control if desired. Moreover it is possible to use feedback from other amplifier stages in an amplifier chain to implement common-mode feedback.

    摘要: A radio transmitter includes a transmitter circuit which produces a signal at a first frequency, and has digital divider circuitry, for dividing the first frequency to produce a signal at a second frequency. The noise performance of the digital divider is adjusted, depending upon the transmitter output power. Specifically, the digital divider is operated with a relatively good noise performance when the gain of the power amplifier is high, and is operated with a worse noise performance at low output powers. This can ensure that a specified noise requirement is met, without excessively increasing the power consumption or the size of the device.
