An envelope tracking (ET) amplifier apparatus is provided. The ET amplifier apparatus includes an ET integrated circuit (ETIC) having a number of voltage circuits coupled to a common port and configured to generate an ET voltage(s) based on a number of ET target voltages, respectively. In examples discussed herein, a selected voltage circuit(s) in the ETIC receives a maximum ET target voltage among all the ET target voltages and is configured to generate a reference ET voltage based on the maximum ET target voltage. As such, another voltage circuit(s), which happens to receive the maximum ET target voltage, may simply treat the reference ET voltage as a respective ET voltage(s) instead of generating the respective ET voltage(s). As a result, it may be possible to opportunistically turn off or reduce functionality of the voltage circuit(s) to help reduce peak battery current and improve heat dissipation in the ET amplifier apparatus.
