Abstract

This paper introduces a digital multiphase modulator (MPM) using mismatch-error shaping techniques based on a digital-to-analog converter view of multiphase power converters. The proposed modulator has relatively simple implementation requiring no explicit pulsewidth modulation and generates control pulses for any number of phases using a single, low-frequency clock. Advantages and disadvantages of the mismatch-error shaping MPM are examined through analysis, simulations, and experimental results. The proposed MPM is particularly well suited for multilevel envelope-tracking amplifiers supplying power to linear RF power amplifiers. Results are shown for an experimental eight-phase buck converter in an envelope-tracking application.
