摘要 |
Embodiments of the present invention can be used to produce smaller and more compact antenna drivers at a reduced cost. Systems and methods for integrating components of an antenna driver with components of a shunt regulator and clamp are provided. By combining these components according to embodiments of the present invention, transistor count in an antenna driver can be reduced. This integrated device preferably allows antenna driver functionality, regulator functionality, and clamp control functionality to be provided at a reduced manufacturing cost and with reduced real estate.[Reference numerals] (500) Determine whether an antenna is used to receive a field or create a field; (502) Is the antenna used to create a field?; (504) Connect an antenna pre-driver to the antenna; (506) Disconnect a regulator from the antenna; (508) Disconnect clamp control from the antenna; (510) Disconnect the antenna pre-driver from the antenna; (512) Connect the regulator to the antenna; (514) Connect the clamp control to the antennaCOPYRIGHT KIPO 2014 |
