Abstract:
Described herein are systems, architectures, circuits, devices, and methods for a DC-DC converter that dynamically adjusts a supply voltage to a power amplifier based on the number of resource blocks in a signal to be transmitted. The disclosed technologies estimate the number of resource blocks in a signal, generate a signal corresponding to the estimated number of resource blocks, and modify a supply voltage based on the generated signal. The disclosed DC-DC converters can be integrated into systems that employ power management strategies such as average power tracking (“APT”). In addition, the disclosed technologies can be used to improve existing APT-based systems.

Claim (Index 14):
A radio-frequency (RF) module comprising:\n a packaging substrate configured to receive a plurality of components; and a power amplification system implemented on the packaging substrate, the power amplification system including an amplifier having a voltage port, an input port, and an output port, the amplifier configured to receive a supply voltage at the voltage port to provide power to the amplifier, to receive an input signal at the input port, and to provide an amplified output signal at the output port; and the power amplification system also including a DC-DC converter having a reference port to receive a reference voltage, a coupler port to receive a coupler signal that is correlated to the amplified output signal, and a supply port to provide the supply voltage to the amplifier, the DC-DC converter including one or more components configured to modify the provided supply voltage based at least in part on an estimate of the number of resource blocks in the amplified output signal.
