Abstract:
1. A voice data and RF integrated circuit (IC) comprising: a memory module that stores a least one application as a plurality of operational instructions, the at least one application having a plurality of power modes that each correspond to one of a plurality of use characteristics; a processing module, coupled to the memory module, that executes the plurality of operational instructions and that determines a selected one of the plurality of power modes based on current use characteristics of the at least one application, and generates a power mode signal based on the selected one of the plurality of power modes; and an RF transmitter, coupled to the processing module, that generates a transmit signal, the RF transmitter having a plurality of operating power ranges and that operates in a selected one of the plurality of operating ranges based on the power mode signal and that operates from at least one transmitter power supply signal generated and selected by a power management circuit in response to the power mode signal, wherein the power management circuit selectively generates an additional transmitter power supply signal in response to the power mode signal.
