  • Patent number: 11822368
    Abstract: Configuration devices in a module. In some embodiments a radio-frequency module includes a serial bus including a first serial data line and a second serial data line. The radio-frequency module also includes a control component coupled to the serial bus and the first switch, the control component configured to determine whether first data is detected on the first serial data line, determine whether second data is detected on the second serial data line, and decode a command based on the first data and second data when the first data is detected on the first serial data line and when the second data is detected on the second serial data line.

  • Publication number: 20230361720
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a radio-frequency system can include a die having a semiconductor substrate and including a radio-frequency circuit and a sensor implemented thereon. The radio-frequency system can further include another die having a semiconductor substrate and including a control circuit for controlling the radio-frequency circuit and a sensor implemented thereon. The control circuit can be configured to receive sensed information from the sensor of the die with the radio-frequency circuit and sensed information from the sensor of the die with the control circuit, and to be capable of adjusting operation of the radio-frequency circuit based on the sensed information from either or both of the sensors. In some embodiments, the radio-frequency system can be implemented as part of a packaged module.

  • Patent number: 10374556
    Abstract: Circuits and methods for adjusting one or more operation parameters of a semiconductor device. One example of a circuit includes a first semiconductor device, a beta sensing circuit coupled to the first semiconductor device and configured to measure a current gain of the first semiconductor device and generate a first control signal based on a value of the current gain of the first semiconductor device, and a reference control circuit coupled to the beta sensing circuit and configured to receive the first control signal and adjust an operation parameter of the first semiconductor device based on the value of the current gain of the first semiconductor device.

  • Patent number: 10122322
    Abstract: Dynamic error vector magnitude correction for radio-frequency amplifiers. In some embodiments, a radio-frequency amplification system can include an amplifier configured to receive an input signal through an input path and generate an amplified signal, a power adjustment component implemented along the input path and configured to adjust power of the input signal, and a control circuit configured to provide a control signal to the power adjustment component based on an operating condition associated with the amplifier, such that an impact of the operating condition on the amplifier is compensated by the adjusted power of the input signal.
