Power amplifier management

A method of managing power amplifiers, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a processor, first data associated with a first power amplifier and second data associated with a second power amplifier;
• generating, at the processor, a first amplitude limiting signal having gain parameters that are based on the first data and the second data, the first data comprising at least one of a temperature measurement associated with the first power amplifier, a supply voltage measurement associated with the first power amplifier, a load resistance associated with the first power amplifier, or a gain associated with the first power amplifier;
• modifying, at the processor, an audio signal based at least in part on the first amplitude limiting signal to generate a first gain-adjusted audio signal;
• and
• providing a first output audio signal to the first power amplifier for amplification, the first output audio signal based at least in part on the first gain-adjusted audio signal.

An apparatus comprising:

• means for receiving first data associated with a first power amplifier and second data associated with a second power amplifier;
• means for generating a first amplitude limiting signal having gain parameters that are based on the first data and the second data, the first data comprising at least one of a temperature measurement associated with a first power amplifier, a supply voltage measurement, a load resistance associated with the first power amplifier, or a gain associated with the first power amplifier;
• means for modifying an audio signal based at least in part on the first amplitude limiting signal to generate a first gain-adjusted audio signal;
• and
• means for providing a first output audio signal to the first power amplifier for amplification, the first output audio signal based at least in part on the first gain-adjusted audio signal.
