Patent number: 7598716Abstract: A low dropout voltage regulator is described having a pass device, differential amplifiers, and a feedback loop including a low pass filter. Two differential amplifiers arranged in parallel coupled to the low pass filter in the feedback loop provide a specified and stable DC voltage whose input-to-output voltage difference is low. Improved stability, reduced die area, improved power supply rejection ratio, increased bandwidth, decreased power consumption, and better electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection may result.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2007Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.Inventors: David Schlueter, Jerome Enjalbert

Patent number: 6166598Abstract: A power amplifying circuit with supply adjust for control of adjacent and alternate channel power. A power amplifier amplifies an input signal to produce an amplified signal. A peak-to-average detector detects peak levels of the amplified signal and an average level of the amplified signal and produces an indication of the peak levels and the average level. A controller adjusts a supply voltage to the power amplifier responsive to the indication to cause the supply voltage to lower as a difference between the peak levels and the average level increases above a predetermined level and to cause the supply voltage to elevate as the difference decreases below the predetermined level.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 1999Date of Patent: December 26, 2000Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventor: David Schlueter
