[0015] refer to Figure 1 A three-stage power amplifier circuit system includes: a power module 100, a first first-stage power amplifier circuit 401, a second first-stage power amplifier circuit 501, a first second-stage power amplifier circuit 402, a second second-stage power amplifier circuit 502, a first third-stage power amplifier circuit 403, a second third-stage power amplifier circuit 503, a control module 200, a current detection module 300, a first single-pole double-throw switch 110, a second single-pole double-throw switch 120, a third single-pole double-throw switch 130, an input node 400 and an output node 500.

[0016] The power supply end of the power supply module 100 is respectively connected to the moving end of the first single-pole double-throw switch 110, the moving end of the second single-pole double-throw switch 120, and the moving end of the third single-pole double-throw switch 130; the first fixed end of the first single-pole double-throw switch 110 is connected to the power supply end of the first first-stage power amplifier circuit 401; and the second fixed end of the first single-pole double-throw switch 110 is connected to the power supply end of the second first-stage power amplifier circuit 501.

[0018] The first fixed end of the third single-pole double-throw switch 130 is connected to the power supply end of the first three-stage power amplifier circuit 403 , and the second fixed end of the third single-pole double-throw switch 130 is connected to the power supply end of the second three-stage power amplifier circuit 503 .

[0019] The input end of the first-stage power amplifier circuit 401 and the input end of the second-stage power amplifier circuit 501 are both connected to the input node 400 .

[0020] The output end of the first-stage power amplifier circuit 401 is connected to the output end of the second-stage power amplifier circuit 501, and the output end of the first-stage power amplifier circuit 401 is connected to the input end of the first-stage power amplifier circuit 402 and the input end of the second-stage power amplifier circuit 502 respectively.

[0021] The output end of the first two-stage power amplifier circuit 402 is connected to the output end of the second two-stage power amplifier circuit 502, and the output end of the first two-stage power amplifier circuit 402 is connected to the input end of the first three-stage power amplifier circuit 403 and the input end of the second three-stage power amplifier circuit 503 respectively.

[0022] The output end of the first three-stage power amplifier circuit 403 and the output end of the second three-stage power amplifier circuit 503 are both connected to the output node 500 .

[0023] The control module 200 is connected to the control end of the first single-pole double-throw switch 110 , the control end of the second single-pole double-throw switch 120 , and the control end of the third single-pole double-throw switch 130 , respectively.

[0024] The current detection module 300 is used to detect the output current of the power module 100, the control module 200 controls the switching action of the first single-pole double-throw switch 110 according to the output current, the control module 200 controls the switching action of the second single-pole double-throw switch 120 according to the output current, and the control module 200 controls the switching action of the third single-pole double-throw switch 130 according to the output current.

[0025] The design idea of ​​the three-stage power amplifier circuit is to set a first-stage power amplifier circuit 401, a second-stage power amplifier circuit 501, a first-stage power amplifier circuit 402, a second-stage power amplifier circuit 502, a first-stage power amplifier circuit 403, and a second-stage power amplifier circuit 503, and select which power amplifier circuit to put into use according to the output current of the power module 100 obtained by the current detection module 300, so as to avoid the short-circuited power amplifier circuit and realize a flexible power amplification strategy. Among them, the first-stage power amplifier circuit 401, the first-stage power amplifier circuit 402, and the first-stage power amplifier circuit 403 are main amplifier circuits, and the second-stage power amplifier circuit 501, the second-stage power amplifier circuit 502, and the second-stage power amplifier circuit 503 are backup amplifier circuits. During normal operation, the control module 200 controls the first single-pole double-throw switch 110, the second single-pole double-throw switch 120 and the third single-pole double-throw switch 130, so that the first-stage power amplifier circuit 401, the first-stage power amplifier circuit 402 and the first-stage power amplifier circuit 403 are all connected to the power module 100, that is, the main amplifier circuit amplifies normally. The signal of the input node 400 is amplified by the main amplifier circuit and then output from the output node 500.

[0026] When the main amplifier circuit is short-circuited, the output short-circuit current of the power module 100 is generated. After the current detection module 300 detects the short-circuit current, the control module 200 sequentially controls the first single-pole double-throw switch 110, the second single-pole double-throw switch 120 and the third single-pole double-throw switch 130 to switch until the short-circuit current disappears. The short-circuit current refers to the large current output by the power module 100 caused by the short circuit of the first-stage power amplifier circuit 401, the first-stage power amplifier circuit 402 or the first-stage power amplifier circuit 403.

[0027] For example, when the first level power amplifier circuit 401 is short-circuited, the power module 100 outputs a short-circuit current, and the control module 200 controls the first single-pole double-throw switch 110 to switch. At this time, the first level power amplifier circuit 401 is not powered, the short-circuit condition of the first level power amplifier circuit 401 disappears, and the short-circuit current output by the power module 100 disappears. At this time, the control module 200 stops switching the second single-pole double-throw switch 120 and the third single-pole double-throw switch 130. At this time, the signal of the input node 400 is amplified by the second level power amplifier circuit 501, the first level power amplifier circuit 402, and the first level power amplifier circuit 403, and is output from the output node 500.

[0028] When the first and second power amplifier circuits 402 are short-circuited, the power module 100 outputs a short-circuit current. The control module 200 controls the first single-pole double-throw switch 110 to switch. At this time, the first and second power amplifier circuits 401 are not powered, but the short-circuit current does not disappear. The control module 200 continues to control the second single-pole double-throw switch 120 to switch. At this time, the first and second power amplifier circuits 402 are not powered, the short-circuit condition of the first and second power amplifier circuits 402 disappears, and the short-circuit current output by the power module 100 disappears. At this time, the control module 200 stops switching the third single-pole double-throw switch 130. At this time, the signal of the input node 400 is amplified by the second first-stage power amplifier circuit 501, the second second-stage power amplifier circuit 502 and the first third-stage power amplifier circuit 403, and is output from the output node 500.

[0029] When the first three-stage power amplifier circuit 403 is short-circuited, the power module 100 outputs a short-circuit current. The control module 200 controls the first single-pole double-throw switch 110 to switch. At this time, the first one-stage power amplifier circuit 401 is not powered, but the short-circuit current does not disappear. The control module 200 continues to control the second single-pole double-throw switch 120 to switch. At this time, the first two-stage power amplifier circuit 402 is not powered, but the short-circuit current does not disappear. The control module 200 continues to control the third single-pole double-throw switch 130 to switch. At this time, the first three-stage power amplifier circuit 403 is not powered, the short circuit of the first three-stage power amplifier circuit 403 disappears, and the short-circuit current output by the power module 100 disappears. At this time, the signal of the input node 400 is amplified by the second one-stage power amplifier circuit 501, the second two-stage power amplifier circuit 502, and the second three-stage power amplifier circuit 503, and is output from the output node 500.

[0030] The three-stage power amplifier circuit system sets a second-stage power amplifier circuit 501, a second-stage power amplifier circuit 502 and a second-stage power amplifier circuit 503 as backup amplifier circuits, and selects which power amplifier circuit to input according to the output current of the power module 100 obtained by the current detection module 300, thereby avoiding the short-circuited power amplifier circuit and realizing a flexible power amplification strategy.

By utilizing the characteristic that the voltage across the capacitor cannot change suddenly, the first fixed terminal and the second fixed terminal of the first single-pole double-throw switch 110 are protected during the switching process of the first single-pole double-throw switch 110.
