- FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a circuit configuration of one embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a unit amplifier constituting a power amplifier module according to the present invention.

Conversely, when the input power level is low, the input current is reduced, and the operating point of the transistor 11 is reduced, so that unnecessary power consumption can be reduced and power efficiency reduction in a region where the input power level is low can be reduced. .
- FIG. 2 (a) and 2 (b) show embodiments of a two-stage and three-stage power amplifier module configured using the unit amplifier shown in FIG. 1, respectively.
- the two-stage power amplifier module is widely applied to CDMA and PDC systems, and the three-stage power amplifier module is widely applied to GSM systems.
- the signals input from the terminals 06 and 08 are sequentially power-amplified by the unit amplifiers 01 and 02 or 03, 04 and 05 according to the operation described in FIG. Is output from each. Therefore, in Fig.
- the power during operation is in the order of unit amplifiers 0 1 and 0 2 and 0 3 and 0 4 and 0 5 Therefore, the dimensions of the transistors constituting the unit amplifiers 01, 02 and 03, 04, 05 need to be changed according to the power distribution allocated from the system specifications. For example, in the latter stage, especially the last stage amplifier, the power level is higher than that of the first stage amplifier, so that the largest transistor is used.
- the input and output matching circuits between each unit amplifier can be shared by simple design changes. In this case, there is an advantage that the size can be reduced.
- the input current of the amplifier 1 has been supplied and amplified by the input current of the reference amplifier 2.However, instead of the input current of the reference amplifier 2, the power supply current is detected and the amplified current is amplified by the amplifier 1. You can supply it to your base. In this case, the collector current is used instead of the base current of the transistor 12.

- the collector current of the transistor 12 is m times the current supplied from the constant current source 14.
- a collector current flows through the transistor 12
- a current equal to the current amplification factor flows into the base of the transistor 12.
- This current flows to the transistor 25 via the transistor 24, and is transmitted to the transistor 26 which forms a current mirror circuit with the transistor 25.
- transistors 27 and 28 are current
- the transistor 11 has a current amplifying function for supplying a large base current required when the transistor 11 is constituted by, for example, 100 to 200 unit transistors connected in parallel.
- a PNP transistor has a small current supply capability, and the transistor size becomes very large to supply a large current. Therefore, if the current amplification function of the transistors 27 and 28 is used, the size of the transistor 26 can be reduced.
- a signal is supplied to the transistors 11 and 12 via the coupling capacitors 6 and 7.
- Transistor 12 generates a DC component in the base current due to its nonlinearity. This direct current flows through the transistor 24 via the high-frequency cutoff inductor 29. At this time, the base current corresponding to the input signal is not supplied to the transistor 11 and the current flowing through the transistor 24 is changed by the operation similar to the above-mentioned non-signal state when the transistors 25, 26, 27, 2 Operation starts after being supplied via 8. Since the base current value of the transistor 12 changes according to the input power level, the base current value of the transistor 11 changes accordingly, and the operating point at the time of signal input is automatically set.
- An effect unique to the present embodiment is a thermal runaway suppression effect.
- a thermal runaway suppression effect For example, when an output power of 36 dBm (4 W) is required as in a power amplifier module for a GSM system, a large-scale transistor in which 100 to 200 unit transistors are connected in parallel as the transistor 11 is used. If such large-scale transistors are arranged in a chip at high density, the thermal resistance increases. In normal cases, thermal runaway tends to occur when the thermal resistance of the bipolar transistor increases, and there is a limit to reducing the chip area. The likelihood of thermal runaway depends on the current supply capability of the base bias circuit in addition to the thermal resistance. Wake up.
- thermal runaway is likely to occur at the time of large power output
- the current supplied to the transistor 11 is limited by the input power level, so that thermal runaway is unlikely to occur. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to reduce the chip area and thereby the module size.

- the transistors 11 and 12 are manufactured on the same chip, they have excellent pairing properties and can operate stably without being affected by manufacturing deviations and environmental fluctuations. In order to effectively exert the above-mentioned thermal runaway suppression effect, transistors 11 and 12 were separated on the chip as shown in Fig. 7 and fabricated. Transistor 12 was affected by the heat generated by transistor 11 It is desirable to make it difficult to receive.
- FIG. 1 differs from FIG. 1 in that an output termination circuit 18 is provided and the output of the reference amplifier 2 is terminated inside the module.
- the operation of the reference amplifier 2 is less affected by the load. Since the operating current of the amplifier 1 is controlled by the reference amplifier, the operation of the amplifier 1 is also less affected by the load.
- load fluctuation tolerance is improved.
- damage to the antenna which is a load on the power amplifier module when used, and contact with metal, etc., occur frequently, but at this time, the matching conditions between the power amplifier module and the antenna are broken. Since a large standing wave is generated due to power reflection, the power amplifier module is easily damaged. In this embodiment, even if the reflected power from the antenna increases, the operating current of the amplifier 1 hardly changes, so that the amplifier 1 can be prevented from breaking.
- FIG. 1 Another embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. This embodiment differs from FIG. 1 in that an interstage matching circuit 19 is provided, and the output of the reference amplifier 2 is connected to the input of the amplifier 1. Since the amplifier has a two-stage configuration and the pre-amplifier also serves as the reference amplifier, there is no need to provide a separate reference amplifier, and the configuration of the module can be simplified. Since the reference amplifier 2 and the output terminal 5 are separated by the amplifier 1, it has the advantage of being resistant to load fluctuations as in Fig. 8. There are points.
- FIG. 10 shows another embodiment of the present invention relating to a three-stage power amplifier module.
- an amplifier 51 and an interstage matching circuit 52 are added as interstage amplifiers.
- the first-stage amplifier is also used as the reference amplifier 2, and the second-stage amplifier 51 and the third-stage amplifier 1 are controlled by the base current.
- the reference amplifier in each stage can be omitted, there is an advantage that the configuration can be simplified.
- FIG. This embodiment is an example of application to a field effect transistor.
- the basic configuration of the amplifier is the same as that of the embodiment of FIG. 9, except that the field effect transistors 21 and 22 are used instead of the bipolar transistors 11 and 12.
- the DC component of the drain current of the field effect transistor 22 is detected.
- the output of DC current amplifier 3 is converted into a voltage by transistor 34 and applied to the gate of field effect transistor 21.
- the operating point is automatically set according to the input power, and low distortion and high efficiency operation can be realized with good reproducibility, as in the previous embodiment.
