2 Outline Introduction and motivation Pros and Cons Background: Stepped bias and switched periphery Switched Doherty Example PAs Performance improvement techniques Test data Tristate switched Doherty PA in BiHEMT process Conclusion 2
3 Why Use Switched Doherty PAs? CDMA talk-time is strongly influenced by PA current Average PA current is dependent on power efficiency at low power levels (in addition to full power PAE) Improvement in low power PAE requires: a reduction in supply voltage OR an increase in load impedance (compared to full power levels) Load impedance can be changed explicitly (switched) or implicitly (periphery switching) The results reported here use implicit load control to improve low power efficiency 3
4 Pros and Cons Switched Doherty PAs are not easy to implement Z inverter (Zo and insertion phase) Delay line (Zo and insertion phase) Interstage branch impedances ALL MUST BE CORRECT- consistent with final stage segmentation Performance advantages include: High PAE in both low and high power modes No insertion phase discontinuity during mode change Increased load insensitivity and superior 3 rd order reverse IMD due to quadrature operation in high power mode All periphery is used in high power mode External load impedance is same as conventional PA 4

34 Improvement: Tristate Switched Doherty Tristate (2-bit) power control. Build on switched Doherty (2-state) core No Vref needed -- PA operates directly from Vbatt. Enabled with logic interface (< 100uA control) Back compatible into standard sockets Vref pin is replaced by ENABLE logic input. Quiescent currents: 6 ma! ultra low power mode, 25 ma low power mode, and 78 ma high power mode. 34

56 Conclusion Switched Doherty PAs have been realized in both PCS and Cellular bands for linear operation. Power efficiency and linearity are quite good in both high and low power operation. Basic switched Doherty architecture has been extended to Tristate operation with extremely low quiescent current in the lowest power mode BiHEMT process enables integration of phemt and HBT circuitry in Tristate PA Several techniques to improve performance have also been presented: A new HBT geometry provides reduced CBC Use of low Zo interconnect structures to reduce inductance in base feed manifold Use of composite split-line and overlay (broadside coupled) inductors for better area efficiency and good Q CDMA talk-time is significantly increased. 56
