Abstract
A communication device includes a power amplifier that generates power signals according to one or more operating bands of communication data, with the amplitude being driven and generated in output stages of the power amplifier. A number of capacitive digital analog converter (CDAC) cells of a power amplifier can be sized to provide defined power signals along a signal path. In response to an optimization component that is coupled to a CDAC cell of the plurality of CDAC cells operating in a high efficiency enable mode and the CDAC cell being powered off in an off mode, the optimization component can increase a power efficiency of the power amplifier by reducing an impedance of an output capacitor of the CDAC cell.
