The invention discloses a power-on
control circuit and a control method. The power-on
control circuit comprises a controller, a
grid voltage control circuit, a control circuit and a drain
voltage switch circuit, the controller is in communication connection with the
gate voltage control circuit and is used for controlling the magnitude of the output
voltage of the
gate voltage control circuit; the
grid voltage control circuit is used for controlling the
grid voltage of the GaN power
amplifier; the control circuit is used for determining that the grid
voltage reaches the turn-off voltage under the condition that the enable
signal is effective and the output voltage of the second output end of the grid
voltage control circuit is greater than the reference voltage, so as to control the conduction of the drain voltage switching circuit; the input end of the drain voltage switch circuit is connected with the output end of the control circuit, and the output end of the drain voltage switch circuit is connected with the drain
electrode of the GaN power
amplifier and used for providing positive voltage for the drain
electrode of the GaN power
amplifier when the drain voltage switch circuit is switched on. The power-on sequence of the grid
electrode and the drain electrode of the GaN power amplifier can be accurately controlled, abnormal voltage and current are prevented from being generated, meanwhile, the complexity and the cost of a
peripheral circuit are reduced, and the stability and the reliability of the whole circuit are improved.
