20080309537 | PSEUDO-DIFFERENTIAL CLASS-AB DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER WITH CODE DEPENDENT DC CURRENT - A digital-to-analog converter, RF transmit channel and method, for converting a digital signal of N bits having a set M of most significant bits and a set L of least significant bits to an analog signal, are disclosed. The digital signal defines a set of coded values which are converted to analog values and modulated on to a RF signal. The digital-to-analog converter includes a plurality of switches and an output stage, for providing at least a first differential output signal and a second differential output signal.

20110043956 | PROTECTION CIRCUIT FOR POWER AMPLIFIER - Techniques for protecting a power amplifier (PA) are described. In an exemplary design, an apparatus includes (i) a PA module to amplify an input RF signal and provide an output RF signal and (ii) a protection circuit to control a transmitter gain to protect the PA module against high peak voltage. In an exemplary design, the protection circuit includes a set of comparators to quantize an analog input signal and provide digital comparator output signals used to adjust the transmitter gain. In another exemplary design, the protection circuit reduces and increases the transmitter gain with hysteresis. In yet another exemplary design, the protection circuit has faster response to rising amplitude than falling amplitude of the output RF signal.
