Abstract:
The systems and processes described herein can reduce the footprint of the internal devices of a wireless device by combining the DC-DC supply regulator with a FEM. Further, the device footprint can be further reduced by sharing the integrated DC-DC supply regulator among multiple FEMs reducing or eliminating the use of a separate DC-DC supply regulator for each FEM of a wireless device. Moreover, in certain embodiments, by integrating the DC-DC supply regulator into a 2G FEM, power efficiency can be improved for some wireless devices. For example, the DC-DC supply regulator may be used to supply power to a PA used for high-band 2G transmission functions. Using the DC-DC supply regulator can improve power efficiency compared to systems that supply the power for the high-band 2G PA directly from the power supply (e.g., the battery).

Claim (Index 11):
A method of regulating power supplied to a first power amplifier and second power amplifier from an integrated DC-DC converter circuit, the method comprising:\n regulating a first power supply voltage by an integrated DC-DC converter circuit, the first power supply voltage provided to a first power amplifier on an integrated circuit die of a front-end module, the integrated DC-DC converter circuit having at least a portion within the front-end module located on the integrated circuit die, and the DC-DC converter circuit having a capacitor and an inductor positioned external to the front-end module and connected to a regulated supply output pin; and regulating a second power supply voltage by the integrated DC-DC converter circuit, the second power supply voltage provided to a second power amplifier located on a second integrated circuit die separate from the integrated circuit die and not having a DC-DC supply regulator configured on the second integrated circuit die, the second power supply voltage provided to the second power amplifier via the regulated supply output pin of the integrated circuit die.
