  • Patent number: 9013238
    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) amplifier is disclosed. The RF power amplifier includes a bias circuit, an output-stage circuit and a RF compensation circuit. When a first system voltage is larger than a first voltage threshold value, the bias circuit generates a first current rising slightly. When first system voltage is larger than second voltage threshold value, the RF compensation circuit receives a second circuit rising slightly transmitted from the bias circuit. When the first system voltage is in an operation voltage range, the first current is larger than the second circuit so as to a quiescent operating current of the RF power amplifier is independent of change of the first system voltage. When the first system voltage is larger than a third voltage threshold value, the first current is equal to the second current so as to have the bias current being a zero current to protect the RF power amplifier from over-voltage.

  • Patent number: 7127228
    Abstract: A portable electronic device with power failure recovery, powered by a main power source, the device comprising a power detection module, a processor, a timing unit and a power management unit. The power detection module detects an output characteristic from the main power source and asserts an interrupt signal if the characteristic is below a threshold value. The processor asserts a turn-off signal and an enable signal in response to the interrupt signal. The timing unit asserts a notification signal at a predetermined time interval when the enable signal is asserted. Upon receipt of the turn-off signal, the power management unit disconnects the main power source from a circuit block. Moreover, the power management unit reconnects the main power source to the circuit block when the notification signal is asserted and the output characteristic of the main power source is beyond the threshold value.
