A power amplifier system which operates at a narrow band with high power and high efficiency or at a wide band is provided. Said power amplifier system comprises at least one high power amplifier; at least one connection line; at least one input block which receives at least one signal from an input, which is connected to said high power amplifier and connection line, which sends received signal to either high power amplifier or connection line and which amplifies the power of the signal sent to the connection line; and at least one high power asymmetric output switch, which is connected to said high power amplifier and connection line and which sends signals coming from said high power amplifier and connection line to an output.

An output driver with programmable single-ended and differential outputs includes a first switch, a first output attenuator, and a programmable attenuator. The first switch is coupled in a shunt configuration to a first path of a differential output of a first amplifier. The first output attenuator is included in the first path and is coupled to the first switch in accordance with the shunt configuration. The programmable attenuator is included in a second path of the differential output of the first amplifier.

Disclosed is an electronic device including a power amplifier (PA) configured to amplify a transmission signal, a matching circuit configured to be connected with the PA and to form a load impedance, a filter configured to be connected with the matching circuit, and a control circuit configured to control a state of at least one of a bias of the PA, the matching circuit, and the filter. The control circuit may identify a network to which the electronic device is connected among a first network and a second network and may operate the matching circuit in one of a first state, a second state, and a third state based on the identified network.

Methods, systems, and devices for differential amplifier schemes for sensing memory cells are described. In one example, a memory apparatus may include a differential amplifier having a first input node configured to be coupled with a memory cell and having an output node configured to be coupled with a sense component. In some examples, the memory apparatus may also include a capacitor having a first node coupled with the first input node, and a first switching component configured to selectively couple a second node of the capacitor with the output node. The differential amplifier may configured such that a current at the output node is proportional to a difference between a voltage at the first input node of the differential amplifier and a voltage at the second input node of the differential amplifier.

An electronic circuit comprises an input stage, a gain stage operatively coupled to the input stage, a primary output stage operatively coupled to the gain stage, a replica output stage operatively coupled to the gain stage in parallel to the primary output stage, and a clock circuit. The clock circuit operates the electronic circuit in multiple phases including a sampling phase to disconnect the primary output stage and the replica output stage from the gain stage to obtain an offset voltage, an active phase to reconnect the primary output stage to apply the offset voltage to reduce an offset at the primary output stage, and an intermediate phase to first reconnect the replica output stage to the gain stage prior to the active phase.

A receiver front end having low noise amplifiers (LNAs) is disclosed herein. A cascode having a common source configured input FET and a common gate configured output FET can be turned on or off using the gate of the output FET. A first switch is provided that allows a connection to be either established or broken between the source terminal of the input FET of each LNA. A drain switch is provided between the drain terminals of input FETs to place the input FETs in parallel. This increases the g m of the input stage of the amplifier, thus improving the noise figure of the amplifier.

An audio processing circuit includes a cascade operational amplifier circuit, an output node, and a pull-down circuit. The cascade operational amplifier circuit includes a first operational amplifier circuit and a second operational amplifier circuit. The first operational amplifier circuit includes a main operational amplifier and a secondary operational amplifier that are connected in parallel. The pull-down circuit is configured to pull down a voltage at the output node after the first operational amplifier circuit is turned on. The second operational amplifier circuit is configured to, after the secondary operational amplifier is turned on, control a voltage gain of the secondary operational amplifier to change gradually from low to high.
