Abstract

An optimization methodology for a popular class of differential RF switched-capacitor power amplifiers exhibiting high efficiency, output power and linearity is presented. Analytical maximization of the output power with respect to component values provides explicit formulas and design guidelines for the amplifier’s core and the tuning of the matching network, that can be used as a starting point for the design and trimming of the power amplifier circuit in an IC design environment.
