More Information
Summary:Subsystems and methods disclosed herein provide a reference signal to a power amplifier (PA) of an RF transmitter or transceiver. PTAT and CTAT signals and a temperature indication signal are produced. Based on the temperature indication signal, one of the PTAT or CTAT signals is selected to be used to produce one or more DAC reference signals. Using the selected one of the PTAT or CTAT signals, the one or more DAC reference signals are produced and used to bias the DAC. A multi-bit digital input signal is converted to an analog output signal using the DAC that is biased using the one or more DAC reference signals (produced using the selected one of the PTAT or CTAT signals). Further, the analog signal output by the DAC, or an amplified version thereof, is used as the reference signal that is provided to the PA of the RF transmitter or transceiver.
