In one embodiment, a power amplifier may include an output stage with multiple transformers and corresponding matching capacitances. The capacitances may include a first matching capacitance coupled in parallel with a secondary coil of a first transformer and a second matching capacitance coupled in parallel with a secondary coil of a second transformer, where the secondary coils are coupled in series in an output stack configuration. By accounting for parasitics present in the power amplifier, the first matching capacitance can be designed to have a greater capacitance than the second matching capacitor, even where the first and second transformers are configured to output substantially equal power levels. |
