Abstract
Systems and devices are provided for tracking pullup current generated by power amplifiers regardless of variations in PVT conditions. An apparatus may include one or more power amplifiers that powers components of the apparatus, a tracking circuit, and a pulse generation circuit. The tracking circuit may include an amplifier. Further, the tracking circuit may include pullup current tracking circuitry that is coupled to the amplifier and generates a first current that tracks pullup current generated by the one or more power amplifiers. Furthermore, the pulse generation circuit may include pullup current generator circuitry that generates a second current that mirrors the first current. In addition, the pulse generation circuit may also include pulse generator circuitry that is coupled to the pullup current generator circuitry and that generates a pulse to control operation of the one or more power amplifiers based at least in part on the second current.
