摘要:
A multi-mode envelope tracking (ET) amplifier circuit is provided. The multi-mode ET amplifier circuit can operate in a low-resource block (RB) mode, a mid-RB mode, and a high-RB mode. The multi-mode ET amplifier circuit includes fast switcher circuitry having a first switcher path and a second switcher path and configured to generate an alternating current (AC) current. A control circuit activates the fast switcher circuitry in the mid-RB mode and the high-RB mode, while deactivating the fast switcher circuitry in the low-RB mode. More specifically, the control circuit selectively activates one of the first switcher path and the second switcher path in the mid-RB mode and activates both the first switcher path and the second switcher path in the high-RB mode. As a result, it is possible to improve efficiency of ET tracker circuitry and the multi-mode ET amplifier circuit in all operation modes.
