[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, in order to improve the working efficiency of the load, the average power tracking (APT) power supply is often used to power the load, that is, the battery voltage of the battery is adjusted step by step according to the power required by the load to reduce the power consumption of the load and extend the working time of the battery. For example, the radio frequency system in the mobile phone is often powered by the APT power supply.

[0003] However, when the battery voltage is lower than the required voltage of the load, but the load has not completely stopped working, using APT power supply will often cause the load to enter an abnormal state. For example, if the load is a RF chip in a mobile phone, when the battery voltage is lower than the required voltage of the RF chip, but the RF chip has not completely stopped working, using APT power supply will affect the signal transmission and reception process of the RF chip, causing the mobile phone to be unable to make calls normally, affecting the user experience.

[0049] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone.

[0050] The terms "first", "second", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to imply or suggest relative importance or implicitly indicate the number of technical features indicated. Thus, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features, and in the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0051] In order to facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the relevant concepts involved in the embodiments of the present application are first briefly described.

[0052] 1. Average power tracking (APT), in the field of electronic technology, average power tracking technology is also called adaptive voltage regulation. Average power tracking technology refers to the technology of automatically adjusting the operating voltage of the power amplifier (PA) according to the pre-output power of the power amplifier (PA) and the parameters of the power amplifier itself. The main purpose of average power tracking technology is to optimize the power consumption of the RF power amplifier during operation, improve the working efficiency of the power amplifier, and extend the working time of the battery.

[0053] 2. Envelope tracking (ET). In the field of electronic technology, envelope tracking refers to the envelope change of the power amplifier (PA) according to the supply voltage of the power amplifier (PA) following the input signal. Specifically, envelope tracking refers to determining the supply voltage of the power amplifier according to the envelope amplitude of the input signal, and calculating the most appropriate voltage value for each power level in the envelope. A relatively higher voltage is given to a higher power level, and a relatively lower voltage is given to a lower power level. In this way, each power point has an optimal voltage, with less energy waste, less loss, and higher efficiency, thereby achieving a good power saving purpose. It is widely used in the field of RF power amplifiers. Compared with APT technology, ET technology wastes much less energy than APT. It can be understood that the envelope refers to a shape interwoven by many elliptical curves, and the appearance looks like a package.

[0054] 3. Buck circuit: In the field of electronic technology, a buck circuit refers to a step-down conversion circuit whose output voltage is lower than the input voltage of the buck circuit. It is generally used in the DC-DC voltage conversion process.

[0055] 4. Boost circuit: In the field of electronic technology, boost circuit refers to a boost conversion circuit whose output voltage is higher than the input voltage of the boost circuit. It is generally used in the DC-DC voltage conversion process.

[0056] 5. Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). In the field of electronic technology, the Global System for Mobile Communications is a digital mobile communication standard developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Organization. Its air interface uses time division multiple access technology. Since it was put into commercial use in the mid-1990s, it has been adopted by more than 100 countries around the world. GSM standard equipment occupies more than 80% of the current global cellular mobile communication equipment market. The Global System for Mobile Communications is the most widely used mobile phone standard. All users can roam freely between mobile phone operators that have signed a "roaming agreement". The biggest difference between the Global System for Mobile Communications and previous standards is that its signaling and voice channels are both digital, so GSM is regarded as the second generation (2G) mobile phone system.

[0057] 6. Radio frequency (RF). In the field of electronic technology, radio frequency refers to electromagnetic frequencies that can be radiated into space, ranging from 300KHz to 30GHz. Radio frequency current is a high-frequency alternating electromagnetic wave. For example, alternating current that changes less than 1000 times per second is called low-frequency current, and alternating current that changes more than 10,000 times per second is called high-frequency current, and radio frequency is such a high-frequency current. RF chip (RF Integrated Circuit, RFIC) refers to an integrated circuit chip that works in the radio frequency band to achieve specific radio frequency functions.

[0058] 7. Boost / bypass. In the field of electronic technology, boost / bypass is a circuit that can select between a boost circuit and a bypass circuit. According to actual needs, a selector switch can be used to select either the boost circuit or the bypass circuit.

[0059] 8. Standalone (SA): In the field of electronic technology, standalone refers to the construction of a new 5G network, including new base stations, backhaul links, and core networks. While introducing new network elements and interfaces, SA will also adopt new technologies such as network virtualization and software-defined networks on a large scale, and combine them with 5G new radio (5GNR). At the same time, the technical challenges faced by its protocol development, network planning and deployment, and interoperability will exceed those of 3G and 4G systems.

[0060] 9. Non-standalone (SA): In the field of electronic technology, non-standalone networking refers to the use of existing 4G infrastructure to deploy 5G networks. 5G carriers based on the NSA architecture only carry user data, and their control signaling is still transmitted through the 4G network.

[0061] The above is a brief introduction to the nouns involved in the embodiments of the present application, which will not be repeated below.

[0062] Figure 1 The present invention is a schematic diagram of a scenario of a mobile communication system to which an embodiment of the present application is applicable.

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, the user can use the terminal device 100 to communicate with the base station 200. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the type of the terminal device 100. In some embodiments, the terminal device 100 can be a mobile phone, a wearable device (such as a smart bracelet, a smart watch, a headset, etc.), a tablet computer, a laptop computer (laptop), a handheld computer, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (ultra-mobile personal computer, UMPC), a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA), an augmented reality (Augmented reality, AR) \ virtual reality (virtual reality, VR) device and other IOT (internet of things, Internet of Things) devices, and can also be a TV, a large screen, a printer, a projector and other devices. For ease of understanding, the following embodiments are exemplified by taking the terminal device 100 as a mobile phone as an example. For ease of understanding, the following embodiments are exemplified by taking the terminal device 100 as a mobile phone as an example.

[0064] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a terminal device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, the terminal device 100 may include a baseband subsystem 10, a radio frequency subsystem 20 composed of a radio frequency transceiver chip (radio frequency integrated circuit, RFIC) 21 and a radio frequency front end module (radio frequency front end, RFFE) 22, as well as an antenna (antenna, ANT) subsystem 30, a power supply module 40, etc. These devices can be coupled through various interconnection buses or other connection methods.

[0066] The baseband subsystem 10 can extract useful information or data bits from the baseband signal, or convert the information or data bits into a baseband signal to be sent. These information or data bits can be data representing user data or control information such as voice, text, video, etc. Exemplarily, the baseband subsystem 10 can implement signal processing operations such as modulation and demodulation, encoding and decoding. Different baseband signal processing operations can be provided for different wireless access technologies, such as 5G NR and 4G LTE. Therefore, in order to support multiple mobile communication modes, the baseband subsystem 10 may include multiple processing cores or multiple hardware accelerators (HAC) at the same time. The baseband subsystem 10 can be integrated into one or more chips.

[0067] Exemplarily, the baseband subsystem 10 can be used as an independent chip, which can be called a modem chip. The hardware components of the baseband subsystem 10 can be manufactured and sold in units of modem chips. Modem chips can also be called baseband chips or baseband processors. In addition, the baseband subsystem 10 can also be further integrated in a system on chip (system on chip technology, SOC) chip, which can be manufactured and sold in units of SOC chips. The software components of the baseband subsystem 10 can be built into the hardware components of the chip before the chip leaves the factory, or can be imported from other non-volatile memories into the hardware components of the chip after the chip leaves the factory, or these software components can be downloaded and updated online through the network.

[0068] In addition, since the RF signal is an analog signal, the signal processed by the baseband subsystem 10 is mainly a digital signal, and an analog-to-digital converter device is also required in the terminal device. The analog-to-digital converter device may include an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that converts an analog signal into a digital signal, and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that converts a digital signal into an analog signal. It should be understood that the analog-to-digital converter device and the digital-to-analog converter can be set in the baseband subsystem 10 or in the RF subsystem 20, and the embodiment of the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0069] The RF subsystem 20 can be divided into an RF receive path and an RF transmit path. The RF receive path can receive RF signals through an antenna, process the RF signals, such as amplification, filtering, down-conversion, and analog-to-digital conversion, to obtain baseband signals, and transmit them to the baseband subsystem 10. The RF transmit path can receive baseband signals from the baseband subsystem 10, process the baseband signals, such as up-conversion, amplification, filtering, and digital-to-analog conversion, to obtain RF signals, and radiate the RF signals into space through an antenna. Specifically, the RF subsystem 20 may include electronic devices such as RF switches, duplexers, antenna tuners, low noise amplifiers (LNA), power amplifiers, mixers, local oscillators (LO), filters, etc., which can be integrated into one or more chips as needed. The antenna can sometimes also be considered as part of the RF subsystem 20.

[0070] Exemplarily, the above electronic devices can be separately arranged in the antenna, the RF front-end module 22 and the RF transceiver chip 21 as needed. The RF transceiver chip 21 can be composed of devices such as a mixer and a local oscillator. Among them, the local oscillator is used to provide a local oscillator signal; the mixer is used to mix the RF signal with the local oscillator signal provided by the local oscillator. The RF transceiver chip 21 can also be called a receiver, a transmitter or a transceiver.

[0071] The RF front-end module 22 can be composed of electronic devices such as filters, low-noise amplifiers, power amplifiers, duplexers, and RF switches. The RF switch is used to switch between receiving and transmitting RF signals and between different frequency bands; the duplexer is used to isolate the transmitting and receiving paths of RF signals, thereby ensuring that receiving and transmitting can work normally when sharing the same antenna; the filter is used to retain signals within a specific frequency band and filter out signals outside the characteristic frequency band. The low-noise amplifier is used to amplify the RF signal of the receiving channel; the power amplifier is used to amplify the RF signal of the transmitting path.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, the RF front-end module 22 may include a RF switch.

[0073] Here, the RF transceiver chip 21 can output control signals to components such as RF switches in the RF front-end module 22 through control lines to control the RF switches to switch between different links.

[0074] It should be understood that the above is only an example, and the RF subsystem 20 may also include other devices or adopt other integration methods. For example, some devices belonging to the RF front-end module 22 may be integrated into the RF transceiver chip 21, or the antenna and the RF front-end module 22 may be integrated into the RF transceiver chip 21. The specific settings and modifications can be made as needed, and the embodiments of the present application do not impose any restrictions on this.

[0075] The antenna subsystem 30 includes multiple antennas, where ANT1 represents the first antenna, ANTn represents the nth antenna, and n is a positive integer greater than 1. The antenna subsystem 30 may also include an antenna switch for switching to different antennas so that different signals are transmitted using different antennas.

[0076] The power supply module 40 is used to supply power to each device. For example, the power supply can provide voltage to the power amplifier. The power supply module 40 may include multiple power supplies, which may be the same or different. The power supply module 40 may also supply power to the baseband subsystem 10, the radio frequency subsystem 20, and the antenna subsystem 30. The same power supply may be used to supply power to each subsystem, or different power supplies may be used to supply power to each subsystem.

[0077] In addition, the terminal device 100 may also include an application subsystem, which may serve as the main control system or main computing system of the terminal device 100, for running the main operating system and application programs, managing the software and hardware resources of the entire terminal device 100, and providing a user operation interface for the user. The application subsystem may include one or more processing cores. In addition, the application subsystem may also include driver software related to other subsystems (such as the baseband subsystem 10). The baseband subsystem 10 may also include one or more processing cores, as well as hardware accelerators and caches, etc.

[0078] It should be understood that the above is only an example of the structure of the terminal device 100, and the terminal device 100 may also include other subsystems or devices, which can be configured and modified as needed, and the embodiments of the present application do not impose any limitations on this.

[0079] Combine the following Figure 3 First, we will introduce in detail the problem that when the battery voltage of the battery is lower than the required voltage of the load but the load has not completely stopped working, the use of APT power supply often causes the load to enter an abnormal state.

[0080] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of a power supply module provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0081] For example, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 3As shown in (a), the power supply module 40 may include a SOC chip 401, a battery 402 and an APT power supply 403. The SOC chip 401 is connected to the load 50, the battery 402 and the APT power supply 403 respectively. The SOC chip 401 is used to obtain the required voltage of the load 50, and obtain a regulation signal according to the required voltage of the load 50 and the battery voltage output by the battery 402. The battery 402 is connected to the SOC chip 401 and the APT power supply 403 respectively, and the battery 402 is used to store electrical energy. The APT power supply 403 is connected to the battery 402, the APT power supply 403 and the load 50 respectively. The APT power supply 403 is used to step-regulate the battery voltage according to the regulation signal of the SOC chip 401, so that the APT power supply 403 can output the required voltage of the load 50.

[0082] For example, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 As shown in (b), optionally, an RFIC404 can also be set between the SOC chip 401 and the load 50. The RFIC404 is used to receive the required power amplitude signal that the base station requires the load 50 to transmit and send it to the SOC chip 401. Then, the SOC chip 401 obtains the required voltage of the load 50 based on the required power amplitude signal that the base station requires the load 50 to transmit and the correspondence table between the required power and the required voltage.

[0083] For example, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 As shown in (c), the APT power supply 403 can adopt a structure in which a buck-APT unit, a boost-APT unit and a bypass unit are connected in parallel, that is, the output end of the APT power supply 403 can output three voltages respectively, for example, the first power supply end can output the voltage passing through the boost-APT unit, the second power supply end can output the voltage passing through the bypass unit, and the third power supply end can output the voltage passing through the buck-APT unit.

[0084] In the process of battery 402 supplying power to load 50 through APT power supply 403, when the battery voltage of battery 402 is lower than the required voltage of load 50 and higher than the shutdown voltage of load 50 (generally 3.15V or 2.85V), load 50 is in an undervoltage state but is not shut down. If a buck-APT unit or a bypass unit is used to continue to reduce the battery voltage of battery 402, load 50 will enter an abnormal working state. If a boost-APT unit is selected to boost the battery voltage of the battery 402, since the current integrated boost-APT unit only integrates the boost mode for 3G, 4G, and 5G power supply, but does not integrate the boost mode for 2G GSM power supply, when only 2G GSM is working, that is, when the load 50 is in some mountainous areas or remote areas where only 2G network exists, even if the boost-APT unit is selected, it cannot be used, and only the buck-APT unit or the bypass unit can continue to step down the battery voltage of the battery 402, which will still cause the load 50 to enter an abnormal working state.

[0085] For example, when the load 50 is a radio frequency chip, the undervoltage state of the load 50 often causes the phenomenon of being unable to send signals, affecting the normal operation of the load 50. For example, when the load 50 is a mobile phone, the mobile phone may be unable to communicate, affecting the user experience.

[0086] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a power supply circuit. When the battery voltage powered by an average power tracking power supply is lower than the required voltage of the load, the battery voltage can be boosted by a voltage regulation module, and the battery voltage passing through the voltage regulation module can be power tracked by a power tracking module, so that the load can obtain the required power supply voltage to maintain normal operation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0087] Combine the following Figures 4 to 15 , and then a scheme for regulating the battery voltage that is reduced to below the required voltage of the load through the power supply circuit is introduced in detail. In an embodiment of the present application, the connection between two electrical modules / electronic devices includes a communication connection and an electrical connection. The communication connection here refers to a connection that can transmit a communication signal. The communication signal can be an electrical signal or an optical signal, which is not limited here. An electrical connection refers to a connection that can transmit an electrical signal. Electrical connections include direct connections and indirect connections. For example, a direct connection between device A and device B means that device A and device B are connected through a wire to transmit an electrical signal. An indirect connection between device A and device B means that device A is connected to the first end of device C through a wire, and the second end of device C is connected to device B through a wire, so that device A and device B can transmit electrical signals through device C. For ease of understanding, in the following description, "electrical connection" is referred to as connection.
