    Abstract: A single integrated circuit may include a signal path configured to generate an output signal from an input signal, wherein the signal path includes an amplifier configured to drive the output signal, a direct-current-to-direct-current (DC-DC) power converter having a power inductor integrated in the single integrated circuit and configured to generate a supply voltage to the amplifier from a source voltage to the DC-DC power converter, and control circuitry for controlling operation of converter switches of the DC-DC power converter in order that the supply voltage tracks at least one among the input signal and the output signal.

    Abstract: A system may include a digital modulator configured to modulate an input signal received at an input of the digital modulator to generate a modulated input signal at an output of the digital modulator, a digital gain element having a digital gain and coupled to the digital modulator, an open-loop Class-D amplifier coupled to an output of the digital modulator and configured to amplify the modulated input signal, wherein the open-loop Class-D amplifier is powered from a variable power supply having a variable supply voltage which is variable in response to one or more characteristics of the input signal, and a control circuit configured to control the digital gain to approximately cancel changes in an analog gain of the open-loop Class-D amplifier due to variation in the variable supply voltage in response to the one or more characteristics of the input signal.
