Abstract

The systems and methods described herein consider a first channel width of transistors of driver circuitry, where the first channel width may be set to match a second channel width of a power control transistor. A control circuit, for example, may match a second channel width of a set of power control transistors to the first channel width by turning on one or more of the set of power control transistors. Matching the width of the switches of driver circuitry and the width of the set of power control transistors may reduce losses by helping to maintain impedances of the driver circuitry.
