A regulated power supply provides a regulated supply voltage at a preselected level under normal operating conditions. When power demands of the circuitry driven by the supply requires a higher voltage, the supply adapts to supply such a higher voltage. Such a supply can be used with automotive electronic circuitry, and can supply voltages up to approximately the voltage available on an automobile battery when such higher power demands occur. The higher supply voltages remain regulated, and return to normal levels when the extra power requirement is removed.

A signal is amplified with a plurality of amplifiers (12-18), each amplifier having a reference port (22), a reference node (C) coupled to the reference port, and a signal port (22), and each amplifier being supplied by a power source (30-36) with operating potential with respect to the reference node that is coupled to the reference port of that amplifier. The amplifiers (12-18) are cascaded in a manner selected so that the output of a first amplifier (12) (which receives the signal to be amplified at its input port) drives the reference node (22) of a second amplifier (14), and the reference node (22) of the first amplifier (12) provides an input at the signal port (20) of the second amplifier (14), whereby the first and second amplifiers are directly coupled together to amplify the applied signal.

A two-stage, interstage transformer-coupled amplifier (11,12,13,14) is provided with a degeneration resistor (33) coupled between the collector of the first stage transistor (27) and the power supply to limit the power dissipated in the first stage transistor (27). The first (26) and second (44) stages are coupled to ground through capacitor/inductor circuits to eliminate signal noise in the supply voltage. The output is filtered to remove harmonics and provide output impedance matching.

Digital envelope tracking with multilevel supply voltages is performed for wide-bandwidth signals. A digital control component generates a digital control code that facilitates switching of resistor values of one or more resistors coupled between a power amplifier and a supply voltage of plurality of supply voltages. A driver component supplies an envelope voltage of the plurality of supply voltages for the power amplifier as a function of the digital control code.
