Abstract
A single integrated circuit may include a signal path configured to generate an output signal from an input signal, wherein the signal path includes an amplifier configured to drive the output signal, a direct-current-to-direct-current (DC-DC) power converter having a power inductor integrated in the single integrated circuit and configured to generate a supply voltage to the amplifier from a source voltage to the DC-DC power converter, and control circuitry for controlling operation of converter switches of the DC-DC power converter in order that the supply voltage tracks at least one among the input signal and the output signal.
