    Abstract: Features and advantages of the present disclosure include a switching regulator and current measurement circuit. In one embodiment, a switching transistor in the switching regulator has a first voltage on a first terminal and a switching voltage on a second terminal. A current measurement circuit has first and second input terminals. A first switch couples the second terminal of the switching transistor to the first terminal of the current measurement circuit when the switching transistor is on, where the second input terminal of the current measurement circuit is coupled to the first terminal of the switching transistor and measurement(s) may be taken. When the switching transistor is off, the first and second input terminals of the current measurement circuit are coupled together, and measurements emulate zero current through the switching transistor.

    Abstract: A tri-level converter provides three levels of power supply to a power amplifier that includes a supply path. The supply path has a first transistor and a first inherent body diode associated with the first transistor, as well as a second transistor and a second inherent body diode associated with the second transistor. A polarity of the second body diode is reversed relative to a polarity of the first body diode. A first driver is configured to drive the first transistor and the first inherent body diode to control a power supply, including a battery supply signal, to an output of the tri-level converter. The tri-level converter is coupled to a switching node.
