Abstract
A power control circuit coupled to a power amplifier, said power control circuit comprising: a first circuit including a power supply and a first transistor to provide a first current to the power amplifier through the first transistor; a second circuit to provide a second current to the power amplifier, the power dissipation of the first current being dependent on the second current of the power amplifier; a protective circuit coupled to the second circuit, the protective circuit configured to pull down a voltage of the second circuit when the temperature of the power control circuit exceeds a threshold temperature, such that the second current provided to the power amplifier by the second circuit is reduced and the power dissipation in the first transistor of the first circuit is reduced with increasing temperature.
