Original Abstract Submitted
A tracker module is provided that includes an integrated circuit on or in a module laminate, and external connection terminals including first and second external connection terminals. The integrated circuit includes a switch included in a pre-regulator circuit, a switch included in a switched-capacitor circuit, a switch included in a supply modulator, a first IC terminal connected to the first external connection terminal, and a second IC terminal connected to the second external connection terminal. The first external connection terminal is connected to a power inductor that is disposed outside the tracker module. The second external connection terminal is an input terminal for a digital control signal for the supply modulator. A distance between the first external connection terminal and the first IC terminal is shorter than a distance between the second external connection terminal and the second IC terminal.
