    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for mixing signals with a multi-mode mixer for frequency translation. In example implementations, a multi-mode mixer includes a supply voltage node, a ground node, a first data signal coupler, and a second data signal coupler. The multi-mode mixer also includes a mixer core and a current control switch. The mixer core is coupled between the first data signal coupler and the second data signal coupler. The current control switch is configured to selectively enable or disable flow of a current through the mixer core. The first data signal coupler, the second data signal coupler, the mixer core, and the current control switch are coupled together in series between the supply voltage node and the ground node.

    Abstract: A bias circuit (126) is described for use in biasing an operational amplifier (110) to maintain a constant transconductance divided by load capacitance (i.e. a constant gm /C L ) despite temperature and process variations and despite body effects. The bias circuit (126) includes a pair of current source devices and a switched capacitor (SC) equivalent resistor circuit (136) for developing an equivalent resistance between the current source devices. By providing an SC equivalent resistor circuit clocked by non-overlapping fixed clock signals, the gm /C L of the bias circuit is maintained substantially constant. Hence, a fixed bandwidth is maintained within the operation amplifier being biased. When employed in connection with operational amplifiers of an SC circuit, the constant bandwidth enables the SC circuit to operate at a constant switching speed despite temp and process variation. Furthermore, by positioning the resistance equivalent circuit (136) between the current source devices of the bias circuit, voltage differentials between the sources are eliminated thereby removing any threshold voltage mismatch and thus compensating for body effect variations.

    Abstract: A power amplifier bias circuit with embedded envelope detection includes a bias circuit stage coupled to an envelope detector circuit to increases a bias provided to a power amplifier as a function of an incoming envelope signal. The envelope detector circuit includes a first source/emitter follower transistor, a current source, and a filter to generate a baseband envelope signal. The current source is coupled to an output node of the first source/emitter follower transistor and the filter is also coupled to the output node of the first source/emitter follower transistor. The bias circuit stage includes one or more replica transistors that replicate transistors of the power amplifier or power amplifier core stage, an envelope detector replica transistor and a replica of the current source of the envelope detector circuit.
