Abstract: Methods for operating amplifiers and related devices. In some embodiments, a method for amplifying a signal can include partially amplifying a signal with a common amplification stage. The method can further include providing a bias signal to a selected one of a plurality of dedicated amplification stages each coupled to the common amplification stage and including an output node, such that the selected dedicated amplification stage further amplifies the partially amplified signal and provides the further amplified signal at the respective output node.

Abstract: Power amplifier having selective signal paths. In some embodiments, a power amplifier circuit can include a plurality of signal paths sharing a common amplification stage configured to partially amplify a signal. Each signal path can further include a dedicated amplification stage coupled to the common amplification stage and configured to be capable of further amplifying the partially amplified signal. The power amplifier circuit can further include a bias selector having a switch configured to provide a bias signal to a selected dedicated amplification stage among the plurality of signal paths to thereby allow the selected dedicated amplification stage to further amplify the partially amplified signal.

Abstract: Power amplifier having a common input and a plurality of outputs. In some embodiments, a power amplifier can include a plurality of signal paths having a common input node. Each signal path can include a dedicated amplifier stage, and be configured to be capable of amplifying a radio-frequency (RF) signal received at the common input node. The power amplifier can further include a bias selector configured to provide a bias signal to the dedicated amplifier stage of a selected one of the plurality of signal paths to thereby allow amplification of the RF signal through the selected signal path. Such a power amplifier can be implemented in products such as a die, a module, and a wireless device.
