CIRCUITS, DEVICES AND METHODS RELATED TO PROTECTION OF RADIO-FREQUENCY AMPLIFIERS

In some embodiments, a method for operating a radio-frequency amplifier can include providing a bias signal to an amplifier implemented between an input node and an output node, and generating a detected voltage representative of a peak of a radio-frequency signal present at the input node. The meth...

Zusammenfassung:In some embodiments, a method for operating a radio-frequency amplifier can include providing a bias signal to an amplifier implemented between an input node and an output node, and generating a detected voltage representative of a peak of a radio-frequency signal present at the input node. The method can further include enabling a protection mode when the detected voltage is greater than a first threshold value and disabling the protection mode when the detected voltage is less than a second threshold value that is less than the first threshold value.
