Abstract: Adjustments to supply voltage level associated with an amplifier can be controlled based on a state associated with an automatic gain control (AGC) component associated with the amplifier. The AGC component can determine the AGC state based on an output signal associated with the amplifier component. Supply voltage controller component (SVCC) of an amplifier regulator can control a supply voltage level of a supply voltage supplied to the amplifier component by the amplifier regulator based on a state value indicative of the AGC state and received from AGC component, and a threshold supply voltage level associated with a threshold state value. If the state value does not satisfy threshold state value, SVCC adjusts or maintains supply voltage at the threshold supply voltage level. If the state value satisfies threshold state value, SVCC adjusts or maintains supply voltage at a desired supply voltage level that corresponds to the AGC state.
