摘要:
A differential amplifier generates an output voltage waveform exhibiting a slew rate over a rise time. The amplifier is powered from a dc voltage input and includes a set of differential pairs having a bias current flowing therethrough and a Miller compensation capacitance. A comparator functions to compare a voltage at the dc voltage input against a reference voltage in order to detect when the voltage drops below the reference voltage. A gain stage controls the gain of the differential amplifier and a bias current control circuit controls the bias current of the differential amplifier. In response to the detection by the comparator of the voltage dropping below the reference voltage, the gain stage and the bias current control circuit decrease the gain of the amplifier and jointly decrease the bias current in order to maintain a value of the rise time.

In a preferred embodiment, the gain expansion in low power mode of a single chain PA is minimized by dynamically adjusting the output impedance of the bias circuit of each gain stage for each mode of operation. Instead of switching in a series attenuator or switching in additional feedback in the first gain stage of a single-chain PA to limit the gain at the increased quiescent current level, this embodiment achieves linear performance by adjusting the quiescent current in each stage to the minimum level that meets the target gain and then increasing the output resistance of the bias circuit of each gain stage in low power mode (LPM) to provide the appropriate level of negative feedback at the base of each amplifying HBT to linearize the gain versus power response.
