In the present technique for power management of a power amplifier, an amplifier bank from a plurality of amplifier banks in a power amplifier that has been switched off for a longest period of time is assessed ( 826 ) to provide a lowest amplifier bank. With this lowest amplifier bank, an up-threshold that is associated to the lowest amplifier bank is assessed ( 828 ), followed by another assessment ( 820 ) of a current power output of the power amplifier. It is next determined ( 830 ) whether the current power output corresponds at least in a predetermined way to the up-threshold, and if so, the lowest amplifier bank is accordingly switched on ( 832 ).
