Patent ID: 11424719

Abstract:
A multi-bandwidth envelope tracking (ET) integrated circuit (IC) (ETIC) is provided. The multi-bandwidth ETIC may be coupled to an amplifier circuit(s) for amplifying a radio frequency (RF) signal modulated in a wide range of modulation bandwidth. In examples discussed herein, the multi-bandwidth ETIC includes an ET voltage circuit configured to generate a modulated voltage based on a supply voltage. The supply voltage may be dynamically adjusted to cause the modulated voltage to transition quickly from one voltage level to another voltage level, particularly when the RF signal is modulated in a higher modulation bandwidth, without compromising efficiency of the ET voltage circuit. As such, the multi-bandwidth ETIC may generate different modulated voltages based on the modulation bandwidth of the RF signal, thus making it possible to employ the multi-bandwidth ETIC in a wide range of wireless communication devices, such as a fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication device.
