    摘要: Disclosed is a circuit comprises a first switching transistor (106) and a second switching transistor (108). The first switching transistor and the second switching transistor are coupled in series between an input voltage (V
    IN ) and ground and having a common node (Switch Node) there between to provide a switching output. A first switching circuit (120) selectively couples a gate (G
    P ) of the first switching transistor to the input voltage and a first mid-level voltage supply (V
    LS ). A second switching circuit (118) selectively couples a gate (G
    N ) of the second switching transistor to a second mid-level voltage supply (V
    HS ) and ground. A charge-recycling circuit is thereby connected to the gate of the first switching transistor, the gate of the second switching transistor, the first mid-level voltage supply, and the second mid-level voltage supply to selectively recycle charge between the first mid-level voltage supply and the second mid-level voltage supply.

    摘要: The present disclosure includes circuits that have a switching regulator and methods of operating the circuits. The switching regulator may receive a switching signal that has a switching frequency. The circuit also includes a monitor circuit to monitor the switching frequency, and includes a reconfigurable inductance coupled to an output of the switching regulator. The monitor circuit may change the reconfigurable inductance. The circuit includes an amplifier to receive an envelope tracking signal. An output of the amplifier is coupled to the output of the switching regulator to provide a power supply voltage. The circuit may further include a switching generator circuit to produce the switching signal for the switching regulator based on an output current of the amplifier. The monitor circuit may compare a frequency of the envelope tracking signal to the switching frequency of the switching signal and accordingly change the reconfigurable inductance.
