Abstract: Techniques for generating a power tracking supply voltage for a circuit (e.g., a power amplifier) are disclosed. The circuit may process multiple transmit signals being sent simultaneously on multiple carriers at different frequencies. In one exemplary design, an apparatus includes a power tracker and a power supply generator. The power tracker determines a power tracking signal based on inphase (I) and quadrature (Q) components of a plurality of transmit signals being sent simultaneously. The power supply generator generates a power supply voltage based on the power tracking signal. The apparatus may further include a power amplifier (PA) that amplifies a modulated radio frequency (RF) signal based on the power supply voltage and provides an output RF signal.

Abstract: A delay-compensating power management circuit is provided. The power management circuit includes a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) configured to generate a time-variant voltage(s) based on a time-variant target voltage(s) for amplifying an analog signal(s) associated with a time-variant power envelope(s). A voltage processing circuit is provided in the power management circuit to determine a temporal offset, which can be positive or negative, between the time-variant power envelope(s) and the time-variant target voltage(s). Accordingly, the voltage processing circuit modifies the time-variant target voltage(s) to substantially reduce the determined temporal offset and thereby realign the time-variant target voltage(s) with the time-variant power envelope(s). By realigning the time variant target voltage(s) with the time-variant power envelope(s), it is possible to align the time-variant voltage(s) with the time-variant power envelope(s) to reduce distortions (e.g., amplitude clipping) during amplification of the analog signal.
