Abstract:
Systems and method related to switchable output stages in power amplifiers. In some embodiments, a power amplifier (PA) circuit can include a driver stage configured to amplify a radio-frequency (RF) signal. The PA circuit can further include a plurality of output stages, with each output stage being configured to be capable of further amplification the RF signal. The PA circuit can further include a switch implemented to route the amplified RF signal from the driver stage to a selected one of the plurality of output stages, such that the selected output stage further amplifies the amplified RF signal.
