An integrated circuit is described for providing a power supply to a radio frequency (RF) power amplifier (PA). The integrated circuit includes a low-frequency power supply path including a switching regulator and a high-frequency power supply path arranged to regulate an output voltage of a combined power supply at an output port of the integrated circuit for coupling to a load. The combined power supply is provided by the low-frequency power supply path and high-frequency power supply path. The high-frequency power supply path includes: an amplifier including a voltage feedback and arranged to drive a power supply signal on the high-frequency power supply path; and a capacitor operably coupled to the output of the amplifier and arranged to perform dc level shifting of the power supply signal.

A DC-DC converter system having at least one DC-DC converter operating in either a PWM mode or a PFM mode is provided. The DC-DC converter system includes a state machine configured to control the switching between the PWM mode and PFM mode. The state machine determines whether an inductor current provided by the DC-DC converter reaches a first specified value for a selective number of clock cycles so switching between the PWM mode and PFM mode is to occur. A pulse generator circuit is connected to the state machine and being configured to provide the appropriate switching period for the PWM mode and the PFM mode at the time of switching. The pulse generator circuit is shared amongst the PWM mode or PFM mode and utilizes a master clock for its operations.

摘要:
A synchronous rectifier using only n-channel devices in which the low-side switches are effectively cross-coupled using low-side comparators and the high-side switches perform an accurate zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) comparison. The charging path of each bootstrap domain is completed through the low-side switches, which are each always on for every half-cycle independent of loading. This scheme gives rectifier efficiency gain because a) each bootstrap domain receives maximum charging time, and b) the charging occurs through a switch rather than a diode. Both these factors ensure the bootstrap domain is fully charged, thereby reducing conduction losses through the rectifier switches. Furthermore, settings may be adjusted by software to optimize the resistive and capacitive losses of the rectifier. Using data for die temperature and operating frequency, software can create a feedback loop, dynamically adjusting rectifier settings in order to achieve the best possible efficiency.
