A 0.7-V Multiclass Digital Doherty Power Amplifier for BLE Applications With 41% Peak DE in 22-nm CMOS 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a multiclass, asymmetric digital Doherty power amplifier (DDPA) for Bluetooth low energy (BLE) applications, that achieves high efficiency at full-scale as well as at 8.6-dB back-off using a single 0.7-V supply voltage. The proposed DDPA is made of two power-combined switched-capacitor power amplifiers (SCPAs) and uses an …
