This invention discloses a
relay-charge parallel
envelope tracking power supply with multiplexed input sources, comprising: a stepped wave
voltage generation circuit, an AB-class
linear amplifier, a feedforward
control circuit, and a pulse edge distribution unit. It improves upon conventional parallel
envelope tracking power supplies by using a
relay-charge switched-
capacitor converter to generate a stepped wave
voltage based on the modulated wave
voltage output from the feedforward
control circuit. By integrating a level providing unit and a level gating unit, it simultaneously reduces the
switching frequency relative to the reference
signal frequency l / k, thereby reducing switching losses. This facilitates further reducing the
switching frequency while maintaining tracking bandwidth, simplifying the circuit structure.
Multiplexing the input source of the stepped wave voltage generation circuit reduces
linear amplifier losses and input power, further improving the overall circuit efficiency.
