Bias control circuit for power amplifier

摘要

A bias control circuit for a power amplifier including an RF amplifier having a transistor for power amplification, comprises two components. A first component is a bias circuit having an active bias transistor operating in an active mode and connected to a predetermined Vref pin to provide the transistor for power amplification with a base current and a second component is a bias current control circuit having another active bias transistor connected to a predetermined Vcon pin and turned on or off depending on a high or a low mode of the Vcon pin to thereby control a base current and a quiescent current of the transistor for power amplification.
