Embodiments of an RFIC and methods for same and mobile terminals can
internally reduce an input voltage to provide a prescribed voltage to a
radio frequency transceiver. Embodiments of an RFIC can have a high
efficiency and/or a low noise. In one embodiment, a device can include a
PMIC and an RFIC. The RFIC can include an RF transceiver to carry out an
RF transmission and an RF reception, a DC-DC converter to lower a voltage
provided by the PMIC, and an LDO regulator to regulate the lowered
voltage to a fixed voltage used by the RF transceiver.
