Description

Temperature coefficient compensation circuit of semiconductor bonding wire
Technical Field
The present invention relates to electronic technologies, and in particular, to a temperature coefficient compensation circuit for a semiconductor bonding wire.
Background
A power amplifier of a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) is generally designed to control the output power by an external control signal Vramp, and one implementation of power control is current control, which detects a collector dc current of a power stage of the amplifier and controls the dc current by a control loop according to the control signal Vramp to implement power control.
The current detection usually employs a method of serially connecting a detection resistor and detecting the voltage of the resistor to obtain a current value, in the case of a large current, the current detection resistor consumes a part of power consumption, in order to reduce the power consumption, the size of the detection resistor needs to be reduced, and in order to reduce the chip cost, the Wire resistance of the Bonding Wire of the semiconductor Bonding Wire can be used as the detection resistor in the power amplifier module, and the size of the detection resistor is generally smaller than 0.1 ohm.
The disadvantage of directly using semiconductor bonding wire as detection resistor is that the semiconductor bonding wire is usually made of gold or copper material, has a large temperature coefficient, and its temperature coefficient is positive, i.e. the resistance is increased at high temperature, and in the feedback loop, because the feedback loop directly controls the conduction voltage drop on the resistor, under the condition that the control signal Vramp is not changed, the voltage drop on the resistor can be kept unchanged by loop control, so the increase of the resistance at high temperature can lead to the reduction of the current flowing through the resistor, i.e. the reduction of the direct current of the power amplifier, and the reduction of the direct current can lead to the reduction of the output power, thereby leading the power control function to have poor temperature characteristic.
