Abstract
Systems and methods related to power amplification and power supply control. A power amplification control system can include an interface configured to receive a transceiver control signal from a transceiver. The power amplification control system can include a power amplifier control component configured to generate a power amplifier control signal based on the transceiver control signal from the transceiver and a power supply control component configured to generate a power supply control signal based on the transceiver control signal from the transceiver and to generate the power supply control signal based on a local control signal from the power amplifier control component.
Claims20
A power amplification control system comprising:
- an interface configured to receive a transceiver control signal from a transceiver, the interface including one or more control registers including one or more power amplifier control registers and one or more power supply control registers;
- and
- a control system configured to generate a power amplifier control signal based on the transceiver control signal from the transceiver and configured to generate a local control signal, the control system configured to overwrite one or more of the power supply control registers with the local control signal, the control system further configured to generate a power supply control signal based on one or more of the transceiver control signal and the local control signal.
A method of implementing a radio-frequency module, the method comprising:
- providing a packaging substrate configured to receive a plurality of components;
- and
- providing a power amplification system implemented on the packaging substrate, the power amplification system including a power amplifier configured to be powered by a power supply and a control system, the control system including an interface configured to receive a transceiver control signal from a transceiver, the interface including one or more control registers including one or more power amplifier control registers and one or more power supply control registers, the control system further configured to generate a power amplifier control signal to control the power amplifier based on the transceiver control signal from the transceiver and configured to generate a local control signal, the control system configured to overwrite one or more of the power supply control registers with the local control signal, the control system further configured to generate a power supply control signal to control the power supply based on one or more of the transceiver control signal and the local control signal.
