Abstract
A Direct Current (DC)-DC converter and method in a wireless communication system are provided. The converter includes a mode determiner, a DC-DC module, and a bypass module. The mode determiner controls operation of the DC-DC module depending on a magnitude of an input voltage. When the DC-DC module is activated by the mode determiner, the DC-DC module steps up the input voltage to a reference voltage and provides the step-up voltage to a corresponding electronic device. When the DC-DC module is inactivated by the mode determiner, the bypass module passes the input voltage to the electronic device.
