摘要: Stacked amplifier architectures that have bias circuits that are tolerant of supply voltage variations, which provide good reliability, are fast to follow VCC changes, and exhibit small variations in gain as VCC varies. One embodiment encompasses a bias circuit for an amplifier stack, including a source follower circuit configured to output a bias voltage to a transistor within the amplifier stack and configured to be coupled to a variable voltage, and a controller coupled to the source follower circuit, configured to be coupled to a constant voltage, and configured to apply a constant voltage to the source follower circuit. The source follower circuit generates a reference voltage and (1) outputs a constant bias voltage when the variable voltage is above the reference voltage, and (2) outputs a bias voltage proportional to the variable voltage when the variable voltage is below the reference voltage.

摘要: An amplifier circuit portion is proved. The amplifier circuit is arranged to amplify an input signal with a gain based on a gain control signal. The amplifier circuit portion comprises a plurality of amplifier cells having a common input for receiving the input signal and a common output for providing an amplified version of the input signal. At least one of the amplifier cells is operable in: a controllable gain mode in which the amplifier cell provides an amplification gain to the input signal based on the gain control signal; and a fixed gain mode in which the amplifier cell provides a fixed, non-zero amplification gain to the input signal.
