Abstract
Disclosed are circuits, devices, systems and methods related to an enable circuit for a radio-frequency (RF) amplifier. In some embodiments, the enable circuit can be configured to control a low-noise amplifier (LNA). The enable circuit includes a plurality of input ports, with each input ports being configured to receive a control signal. The enable circuit further includes a logical section connected to the input ports and configured to be capable of generating a plurality of output signals based on different combinations of the plurality of control signals. The output signals include either or both of enable and power shut-off signals for the LNA.
