Abstract

In a flexible and uncomplicated method for generating control signals for a power amplifier, and in a power amplifier having at least two output stages connected in series at the output side, which are driven dependent on a setting value, the setting value is classified into one of several setting value classes, a respective operating mode for each output stage is determined at least dependent on the setting value class and on a time slice value and at least one control signal for each output stage is generated dependent on the operating mode and, if warranted, on the setting value.
