Abstract: A power amplifier circuit includes unit amplifiers (unit PAs) whose output terminals are connected to one another, among which a number of unit PAs to be operated is controlled by an amplitude signal indicative of an amplitude of an input signal, and which output output signals based on a phase signal indicative of a phase of the input signal and an output current controller which controls an output current of each of the unit PAs. Each unit PA includes a first transistor and a second transistor connected in series between the output terminal and a ground. The first transistor receives the phase signal at a gate. The second transistor receives at a gate a control signal generated by the output current controller and determines the output current flowing to the output terminal on the basis of the control signal.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a control module and a touch panel. The touch panel receives a first signal and a second signal from the control module. The first signal is at a high level when the touch panel is operating normally. When the electronic device enters sleep mode, the control module turns the first signal to be at a low level and records a first operating status of the second signal. The electronic device stops supplying power for the touch panel when the first signal is at a low level; when the electronic device quits sleep mode, the control module adjusts statuses of the first and second signals according to a first sequence. When the first signal is at the high level and the second signal is in the first operating status, the touch panel continues to operate.
