In order to further illustrate the technical idea of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will now be described with reference to specific application scenarios.
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, after the level signal is received for the first time, a timing signal is generated, and the timing function is started and continues to preset the on-time. Within the preset conduction time, the driving tube M1 on the envelope tracking power supply acquires a first driving signal and conducts, a period time counting function is started, and a period signal Tdis is output after one period time is finished.
It should be noted that, the high level signal in the level signal fb _ comp is counted in the preset on period, and the period duration is determined according to the sum of the durations of the high level signal.
When the timing reaches the preset on duration, a second driving signal is output to the upper driving tube M1, and the upper driving tube M1 is turned off.
In the above embodiment, the problem of contradiction between the magnitude of the current ripple and the system efficiency is solved by means of time compensation, and specifically, the frequency of the switch is changed by controlling the on-time of the power tube without changing the average duty ratio of the signal, so that the problem of large low-frequency output ripple is avoided.
When the level signal fb _ comp is not received for the first time and the periodic signal Tdis is received, a timing signal is output and a timing function is started. If the periodic signal Tdis is not received, it indicates that the previous period is not finished, and no timing signal is generated.
After the timing signal is generated, within a preset conduction time, a first driving signal is output to the upper driving tube M1 to be conducted. Specifically, after the timing signal is generated, the upper tube opening signal Pon is output, and according to the received upper tube opening signal Pon, the conduction trigger signal is output to enable the upper driving tube M1 to obtain the conduction of the first driving signal, so that the inductive current of the envelope tracking power supply is increased, and the direct-current voltage is further improved.
When the timing reaches the preset on duration, a second driving signal is output to the upper driving tube M1 to stop the upper driving tube M1. Specifically, when the timing reaches the preset on-time, a timing end signal is output, and a trigger clear signal is output to enable the upper driving tube M1 to obtain a second driving signal to be cut off.
Through the cycle of the period, the direct-current voltage of the envelope tracking power supply is continuously increased, and the load requirement is further met. When the same frequency signal is processed, the conduction frequency of the upper driving tube M1 can be reduced, thereby further reducing the ripple of the output power supply output. This is because, after the level signal fb _ comp and the periodic signal Tdis are obtained, the upper driving tube M1 is controlled to be turned on in the preset on duration without changing the duty ratio of the signal, and the on frequency of the upper driving tube M1 is changed by changing the waveform of the signal, so as to further achieve the purpose of reducing the output ripple.
As shown in fig. 1, when the voltage V1 of the envelope tracking signal input to the envelope tracking power supply is greater than the load required voltage V2, the level signal fb _ comp is output.

Through the statistics of the preset conduction time length and the period time length, the conduction frequency of the upper driving tube M1 can be reduced under the condition that the duty ratio is not changed.
