Abstract: Embodiments of power amplification devices are described that include a power amplification circuit, a first voltage regulation circuit, and a second voltage regulation circuit. The voltage regulation circuits are configured to provide regulated voltages to the power amplification circuit. The power amplification device also includes a threshold detection circuit to get better maximum output power performance while preserving power efficiency. The threshold detection circuit is configured to increase a voltage adjustment gain of the first voltage regulation circuit when a regulated voltage level of regulated voltage from the second voltage regulation circuit reaches a threshold voltage level. In this manner, the voltage adjustment gain can be increased when the second voltage regulation circuit is close to or has railed.

Abstract: A power amplification device is disclosed that includes a power amplification circuit operable to amplify a radio frequency (RF) signal in accordance with an amplification gain, and a voltage regulation circuit operable to generate a regulated voltage. A regulated voltage level of the regulated voltage sets the amplification gain. To help prevent the voltage regulation circuit from saturating, the voltage regulation circuit is configured to reduce a voltage adjustment gain when the regulated voltage level reaches a threshold voltage level. In one embodiment, the threshold voltage level is set to be higher when a band-select signal indicates that the RF signal is being transmitted within a first frequency band, and is set to be lower when the band-select signal indicates that the RF signal is being transmitted within a second frequency band. The spectral performance of the power amplification device thus improves with regard to the second frequency band.

Abstract: Systems and devices for radio frequency (RF) power amplification are disclosed. In one embodiment, a power amplification device includes a power amplification circuit operable to amplify an RF transmission signal and a voltage regulation circuit operable to generate a regulated voltage. The regulated voltage level of the regulated voltage sets an amplification gain of the power amplification circuit. The voltage regulation circuit allows the regulated voltage level closer to the saturation voltage level when a band-select signal indicates that the RF transmission signal is being transmitted within a low transmission frequency band and is further away from the saturation voltage level when the band-select signal indicates that the RF transmission signal is being transmitted within a high transmission frequency band. This provides greater power efficiency when the RF transmission signal is being transmitted with the low transmission frequency band.

In this manner, the first voltage adjustment gain can be initially set to be lower than the second voltage adjustment gain until the second voltage regulation circuit is close or has railed. The first voltage adjustment gain can then be increased to allow the first voltage regulation circuit to also rail.
