ABSTRACT:
A power amplifier having a power MOS transistor output device. The gate drive for the power device is a bidirectional current source. In one form of the gate driver circuit, the bidirectional current source includes the capability of controlling the liimts of the gate current, which in turn controls the slew rate of the power amplifier.
