Abstract:
A power amplifier circuit, comprising: an input for receiving an input signal to be amplified; a power supply; an amplifier, coupled to the input and the power supply; and a cascode device coupled between the power supply and the amplifier. The circuit is characterized by: a first current source coupled between the input and the amplifier, configured to provide a biasing current which is proportional to absolute temperature; and a second current source for controlling the cascode device, configured to provide a current which is complementary to absolute temperature (CTAT).
