Abstract
A tracker module includes an integrated circuit, a first capacitor and a second capacitor arranged in or on a module laminate. The integrated circuit includes at least one switch in a switched-capacitor circuit and at least one switch in a supply modulator. The switched-capacitor circuit is configured to generate a plurality of discrete voltages. The supply modulator is configured to generate an output voltage by selectively switching among the plurality of discrete voltages based on a control signal. The first capacitor is a flying capacitor of the switched-capacitor circuit. The second capacitor is a smoothing capacitor of the switched-capacitor circuit. In a plan view of the module laminate, the first capacitor is arranged closer to the integrated circuit than the capacitor.
