VOLTAGE CONTROL DEVICE
The disclosure provides a voltage control device for controlling supply voltages of a power amplifier (PA). The voltage control device includes a first processing circuit to provide a first supply voltage to at least one driving stage amplifier of the PA, and a second processing circuit to provide a second supply voltage to an output stage amplifier of the PA.

Standby Voltage Condition for Fast RF Amplifier Bias Recovery
Various methods and circuital arrangements for biasing one or more gates of stacked transistors of an amplifier are possible where the amplifier is configured to operate in at least an active mode and a standby mode. Circuital arrangements can reduce bias circuit standby current during operation in the standby mode while allowing a quick recovery to normal operating conditions of the amplifier. Biasing an input transistor of the stacked transistors can be obtained by using a replica stack circuit.
