  • Active bias control circuit for an amplifier and method of power up sequencing the same
    Patent number: 8319559
    Abstract: An active bias control circuit for an amplifier includes a low dropout regulator for providing a regulated voltage to provide an input current to the amplifier, and a current sense circuit responsive to the low dropout regulator for sensing a scaled down replica of the input current to the amplifier. An amplifier control circuit adjusts a control voltage to the amplifier in response to the sensed, scaled down replica of the input current to regulate the input current to the amplifier. A method for power up sequencing an amplifier for an active bias control circuit for the amplifier is also disclosed.
