A feed-forward correction circuit in a PWM controller adjusts an error signal inversely with respect to a supply voltage for a switching voltage regulator to quickly compensate for changes or transients in the supply voltage. The adjusted error signal is provided to a PWM comparator to control a duty cycle of an output signal. The switching voltage regulator can be a DC-to-DC converter or a DC-to-AC converter, and the output signal is used to generate one or more driving signals to control semiconductor switches in the switching voltage regulator. The feed-forward correction circuit uses an offset compensation technique or a translinear circuit to maintain a substantially inverse product relationship between the supply voltage and the duty cycle of the output signal, thereby reducing overshoots and undershoots in a regulated output voltage of the switching voltage regulator.

A system and method are disclosed for waveform based variational static timing analysis. A circuit is divided into its linear circuit parts and non-linear circuit parts and modeled together, by a combination of linear modeling techniques, into linear equations that may be represented by matrices. The linear equations in matrix form may be readily solved by a computer such that an input waveform to an input pin of the circuit can be sequentially “pushed” through the various interconnects and logic networks of the circuit to an output pin. Output voltage waveforms are obtained at each stage of the waveform pushing and may be used to perform static timing analysis.

A method, transceiver integrated circuit (IC), and communications device that employs a PIN Diode switch in connection with a transceiver integrated circuit in order to provide a highly linear path for simultaneously transmitted signals in a multi-band wireless communications device. A high linearity switch (HLS) utility/controller configures the PIN diode switch for switching between dual and single transmission modes. In the dual transmission mode, both a series PIN diode and a shunt PIN diode of the switch are biased to an on-state. A first transceiver generates and simultaneously transmits different transmission signals occupying different frequency bands to at least one antenna by utilizing a highly linear circuit path that includes the series PIN diode. In single transmission mode, both diodes are biased to an off-state which allows a second transceiver to transmit a single transmission signal to at least one antenna via a switch path with a low insertion loss impact.
