Abstract
Apparatus and techniques for adaptively adjusting an input current limit for a boost converter supplying power to a load, such as an amplifier. An example circuit for supplying power generally includes a boost converter having an output coupled to a load, and logic configured to adaptively adjust an input current limit for the boost converter based on an estimated output power for the boost converter and to apply the input current limit to the boost converter. One example method for supplying power generally includes converting an input voltage to an output voltage with a boost converter, to power a load for the boost converter, adaptively adjusting an input current limit for the boost converter based on an estimated output power for the boost converter, and applying the input current limit to the boost converter during the converting.
