Embodiment Construction

[0036] Usually, power amplifiers include GSM radio frequency power amplifiers, etc., figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the power control circuit of the GSM radio frequency power amplifier, figure 1 The power control process of the power control circuit shown specifically includes: when the reference control voltage VRAMP increases, the source terminal voltage Vout of the power transistor increases, which in turn causes the collector voltage of the GSM radio frequency power amplifier to increase, causing the GSM radio frequency power amplifier to increase. The output power increases according to the square relationship with the drain terminal voltage Vout; when the reference control voltage VRAMP decreases, the source terminal voltage Vout of the power transistor decreases, which in turn causes the collector voltage of the GSM RF power amplifier to decrease, resulting in a GSM RF power The output power of the amplifier decreases as the square of the drain voltage Vout.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a power amplifying circuit, in particular to a control circuit, a power amplifying circuit and a control method. Background technique [0002] At present, as the Silicon On Insulator (SOI, Silicon On Insulator) process becomes more and more mature, implementing a radio frequency power amplifier (PA, Power Amplifier) ​​using the SOI process has more and more cost advantages. Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM, Global System for Mobile Communication) power amplifier is a kind of radio frequency power amplifier. In the power control circuit of the existing commonly used GSM radio frequency power amplifier, usually, the reference control voltage VRAMP passes through the low dropout regulator (LDO, Low DropOut regulator) controls the collector voltage of the GSM RF power amplifier, and then realizes the control of the output power of the GSM RF power amplifier. The LDO includes an error amplifier and a power transistor. ...
