Zusammenfassung:Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for generating supply voltages for a power amplifier in a digital envelope tracking system. In one example, a voltage generation circuitry converts a source voltage into a supply voltage based on a target voltage. The voltage regulation circuitry includes an adjustable boost circuitry that multiplies the source voltage to generate an input voltage having a voltage equal to or greater than the source voltage and a step-down regulator circuitry that regulates the input voltage to generate a regulated output voltage having a voltage that is less than or equal to the input voltage. A voltage splitter circuitry is coupled to the regulated output voltage and is configured to generate at least one derived output voltage from the regulated output voltage. A supply modulator provides a selected one of the at least one derived output voltage to a power amplifier.
