Abstract
A protection circuit is provided. The protection circuit protects a power amplifier that includes a power transistor configured to receive a power voltage, and a bias circuit configured to supply a bias current to the power transistor. The protection circuit includes: a first transistor, connected between a terminal of the bias circuit and a ground, and configured to sink a first current from the terminal of the bias circuit; and a second transistor, comprising a first terminal connected to the power voltage, a second terminal connected to a control terminal of the first transistor, and a control terminal connected to a reference voltage.
