摘要: A distributed power management apparatus is provided. The distributed power management apparatus includes an envelope tracking (ET) integrated circuit (ETIC) and a distributed ETIC separated from the ETIC. The ETIC is configured to generate a number of ET voltages for a number of power amplifier circuits and the distributed ETIC is configured to generate a distributed ET voltage(s) for a distributed power amplifier circuit(s). In a non-limiting example, the number of power amplifier circuits and the distributed power amplifier circuit(s) can be disposed on opposite sides (e.g., top and bottom) of a wireless device. As such, in embodiments disclosed herein, the ETIC is provided closer to the power amplifier circuits and the distributed ETIC is provided closer to the distributed power amplifier circuit(s). By providing the ETIC and the distributed ETIC closer to the respective power amplifier circuits, it is possible to reduce trace inductance and unwanted signal distortion.

摘要: The present application discloses an amplifier and a method for controlling the same. The amplifier includes a first P-type transistor, a second P-type transistor, a first N-type transistor and a second N-type transistor. At a first amplification stage, an AC component of a second input signal is amplified by the second P-type transistor into a first amplified signal at an output terminal. The first P-type transistor then amplifies an AC component of a first input signal into a second amplified signal. The second amplified signal is superposed on the first amplified signal at the output terminal.

摘要: Power amplifier modules with controllable envelope tracking noise filters are provided herein. In certain embodiments, an envelope tracking system includes a power amplifier module and an envelope tracker that provides the power amplifier module with a power amplifier supply voltage that changes based on an envelope of a radio frequency (RF) signal amplified by the power amplifier module. The power amplifier module includes a controllable filter that filters the power amplifier supply voltage to provide flexibility in filtering envelope tracking noise.

摘要: Envelope tracking power supply circuitry includes a look up table (LUT) configured to provide a target supply voltage based on a power envelope measurement. The target supply voltage is dynamically adjusted based on a delay between the power envelope of an RF signal and a provided envelope tracking supply voltage. The envelope tracking supply voltage is generated from the adjusted target supply voltage in order to synchronize the envelope tracking supply voltage with the power envelope of the RF signal.

The instructions, when executed by at least one processor, individually and/or collectively, may cause the electronic device to: control the first modulator to operate in the APT mode based on identifying a first event associated with network communication, control the first switch to connect the first PA to the first modulator and the second modulator; control the second switch, the third switch, and the fourth switch to turn on; and control the fifth switch to turn off based on the first modulator operating in the APT mode.

摘要: An apparatus and method for improving the efficiency of a D class amplifier, particularly at lower output levels. A class D amplifier having a load with inductance, such as a transducer, is configured to concurrently act as its own buck regulator. A capacitor connected to ground and to both ends of the transducer through switches functions as the buck regulator in connection with the inductance of the transducer, providing the class D amplifier with additional voltage levels such as might be provided by a G/H class amplifier but without the added complexity or expense of the G/H configurations. Better efficiency is possible than that provided by a 100% efficient conventional buck regulator. No envelope detector is required, nor any change to the gain of the digital signal to the class D amplifier. Both synchronous and asynchronous applications are possible. Feedback may be used if desired, but is not required.
