Abstract:
A switch mode power supply converter and a feedback delay compensation circuit are disclosed. The switch mode power supply converter has a switching voltage output and provides a switching voltage at the switching voltage output, such that a target voltage for a power amplifier supply voltage at a power amplifier supply output is based on the switching voltage. Further, the switching voltage is based on an early indication of a change of the target voltage. The feedback delay compensation circuit provides the early indication of the change of the target voltage.

Abstract:
Envelope power supply circuitry is operated in one of an off-state, a standby-state, and a transmit-state. In the standby-state, select components in envelope power converter circuitry in the envelope power supply circuitry are turned on in order to charge one or more inductive and/or capacitive elements therein to a maximum value necessary for supporting transmission of signals about a maximum output power. Accordingly, the envelope power supply circuitry is able to prepare to support transmission about any output power without knowing the output power ahead of time.
