The solution of the envelope amplifier is to combine the proposed converter with a linear regulator in series. High system efficiency can be obtained through modulating the supply voltage of the envelope amplifier with the fast output voltage variation of the converter working with several particular duty cycles that achieve total ripple cancellation. The transient model for minimum time control is explained, and the calculation of transient times that are pre-calculated and inserted into a look-up table is presented. The filter design trade-off that limits capability of envelope modulation is also discussed. The experimental results verify the fast voltage transient obtained with a 4-phase buck prototype. date: 2011 date_type: published official_url: http://www.saaei.org/ full_text_status: public pres_type: paper pagerange: 1-8 event_title: SAAEI 2011, Actas del XVIII Seminario Anual de Automática, Electrónica Industrial e Instrumentación event_location: Badajoz, España event_dates: 05/07/2011 - 08/07/2011 event_type: conference institution: Industriales department: Automatica refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-84-933682-3-4 book_title: SAAEI 2011, Actas del XVIII Seminario Anual de Automática, Electrónica Industrial e Instrumentación rights: by-nc-nd citation: Cheng, Pengming and Vasic, Miroslav and García Suárez, Oscar and Oliver Ramírez, Jesús Angel and Alou Cervera, Pedro and Cobos Márquez, José Antonio (2011).
