Current detecting unit 23, for acquiring the input current of PA feeder ear.It include: current detector part 230 and resistance device 231 in parallel.Wherein, resistance device 231 are connected between power supply circuit 21 and PA feeder ear Vcc.Current detector part 230; for acquiring the voltage at 231 both ends of resistance device, and then the electric current of PA feeder ear is obtained, when the input current of PA feeder ear is greater than first threshold; terminal processing units 24 are sent information to, to take corresponding current limiting measures protection PA in order to avoid its operating current is excessive and breakdown.
It should be noted that in order to reduce the influence to power supply circuit 21, resistance device 231 needs precision with higher, and small power consumption.It is recommended that the lesser varistor of resistance value can be used in resistance device 231, such as milliohm (m Ω) rank.Since susceptibility of the varistor to voltage change is higher, also more general resistance is high for the current precision detected.Meanwhile the varistor that resistance value is lesser, too many power consumption will not be introduced.
Terminal processing units 24 enable current limiting measures, further protect PA when the electric current of PA feeder ear is greater than first threshold.When the input current for the PA feeder ear that current detecting unit 23 detects is greater than first threshold, for adjusting the input current of feeder ear, and/or adjustment power amplifier input signal power, and/or the gain of adjustment power amplifier.
It should be noted that control unit 1, control unit 2 and control unit 3 are respectively that the first control is single Member, the second control unit and third control unit.
Power detecting unit 25 is connected between PA coupled end CPL and terminal processing units 24, and the part output power of the PA for will couple from PA RF signal output RFout feeds back to terminal processing units 24, and terminal processing units 24 is allowed to obtain the output power of PA.
In the first aspect of the present embodiment, when current detecting unit 23 detects the electric current of PA feeder ear greater than first threshold, terminal processing units 24 are fed back to, the output control of terminal processing units 24 signal Control 1 arrives the control unit 1 of power supply circuit 21, modulates the input current of PA feeder ear.Control unit 1 receives 1 signal of Control, and limitation power supply circuit 21 is output to the electric current of PA feeder ear, protects PA not breakdown.
It should be noted that corresponding to different purposes there are many kinds of the PA as involved in terminal, however, the saturation operating current of usual terminal PA is that hundred milliamperes of grades or peace grade differ, and can set different feeder ear input current thresholdings according to the saturation operating current parameter of different PA.Wherein, which may include current limiting device.
Specifically, first threshold can be the preset current value thresholding of saturation operating current according to PA, also, it is understood that, first threshold can also adjust as needed.
In the second aspect of the present embodiment; when current detecting unit 23 detects the electric current of PA feeder ear greater than first threshold; feed back to terminal processing units 24; the output control of terminal processing units 24 signal Control 2 arrives the control unit 2 of PA radio frequency input ic 22; control PA radio frequency input ic 22 reduces its output power; the power input of PA is reduced, PA is in order to avoid it punctures because operating current is excessive for protection.
It should be noted that being directed to each PA, a comparatively safe threshold current can be set for it.Once PA operating current is greater than the threshold values, the output power of PA power input circuit can be reduced by terminal processing units, so that operating current be made to be reduced to threshold current or less;If operating current allows it not to be further added by close to threshold current, the output power of same controllable PA power input circuit.
In the third aspect of the present embodiment, when current detecting unit 23 detects the electric current of PA feeder ear greater than first threshold, terminal processing units 24, the output control signal of terminal processing units 24 are fed back to The Control Unit (control unit 3) of Control 3 to PA 20 is to adjust PA gain shift; control unit 3 is according to PA performance and control mechanism; assess the adjustable gain range of PA; the control unit 3 of control PA slightly turns down PA gain shift; the saturation region that PA is pushed into low gain is avoided simultaneously; with the operating current of limiting power amplifier, protect PA not breakdown.
It should be noted that usually PA has multiple gain shifts, typically, when external condition is the same, the gain of PA is higher, and the operating current of consumption is bigger.Therefore the operating current that PA gain shift reduces PA to a certain extent is turned down, PA is in order to avoid its operating current is excessive and punctures for protection.Therefore the gain shift of PA is turned down, corresponding PA consumption stream can reduce.But this method cannot simply be implemented, first PA gain sharp fall, will cause influence to communication performance;Secondly, being easy to the saturation region that PA is pushed under low gain still remaining the risk of damage for PA if only reducing gain.
It should be noted that the protective device for the PA that the embodiment of the present invention provides comprising the current limiting measures of three aspects can be selected according to actual design, and current limiting measures wherein in a certain respect are taken in selection, further design specific device.For example, facilitate limitation power supply circuit be output to the electric current of PA feeder ear in the case where, may be selected the present embodiment in a first aspect, terminal processing units output control signal Control 1 to power supply circuit control unit 1 PA is protected comprehensively;In another example the output power in PA radio frequency input ic is adjustable at one's leisure, the second aspect of the present embodiment may be selected, the control unit 2 of terminal processing units output control signal Control 2 to PA radio frequency input ic protects PA comprehensively;For another example the third aspect of the present embodiment may be selected in the case where PA adjustable gain is high, the control unit 3 of terminal processing units output control signal Control 3 to PA protects PA comprehensively.Meanwhile the current limliting scheme of three aspects that the present embodiment provides can also combine, and pass through deployment unit and combine PA parameter and PA in the specific distribution situation of terminal, flexible allocation specifically uses the protection scheme of which kind of combination.

Step 301, when the input current of feeder ear is greater than first threshold, the input current of feeder ear is adjusted, and/or adjust the power of the input signal of power amplifier, and/or the gain of adjustment power amplifier.
Specifically, when the input current of PA feeder ear is greater than first threshold, following several current limiting measures can be taken:
1, when the input current of PA feeder ear is greater than first threshold, by the control unit 1 in control power supply circuit, to limit the input current that power supply circuit is output to PA feeder ear, protection PA in order to avoid its operating current is excessive and breakdown.Wherein, control unit 1 may include current limiting device.
2, when the input current of PA feeder ear is greater than first threshold, the control unit 2 by controlling PA radio frequency input ic adjusts the output power of PA radio frequency input ic, and PA is in order to avoid its operating current is excessive and breakdown for protection.Wherein, PA radio frequency input ic provides input power for PA.Control unit 2 can take the mode of software, hardware or software and hardware combining, can also exist otherwise.
In one example, when can also set the input current of PA feeder ear more than or equal to first threshold, by the control unit 2 of PA radio frequency input ic, the output power of PA radio frequency input ic is adjusted, i.e., adjusts the input power of PA by control unit 2.Such as: when the input current of PA feeder ear is greater than or equal to first threshold, control PA radio frequency input ic makes its output power slightly reduce or remain unchanged.
3, when the input current of PA feeder ear is greater than first threshold, PA adjustable gain range is assessed in conjunction with to PA performance and mechanism, turn down PA gain shift, guarantee PA gain will not sharp fall and influence communication performance, while PA will not be pushed into the saturation region of low gain and be damaged to.
It should be noted that one of them can may be selected according to actual design flexible choice in above-mentioned 3 kinds of current limliting schemes, while plurality of combination also may be selected, comprehensively protect PA in case its overcurrent puncture.
The protective device and method of PA provided in an embodiment of the present invention is effectively reduced because PA is damaged caused by the amplifier in PA enters breakdown region or electric current increased dramatically.Technical solution of the present invention is also applied in the PA protection in the fields such as audio, for some important devices, can also be used similar guard method, be effectively reduced market failure.
