1. An integrated circuit (IC) for use in a multi-input multi-output transceiver, the IC comprising:

  • a plurality of RF transceivers, each RF transceiver including;

    an RF transmitter that transmits a transmit signal at a selected transmit power, based on a transmit power control signal; and

    a corresponding RF receiver for receiving a corresponding one of a plurality of received signals from an external device;

    a processing module, coupled to the plurality of RF transceivers, that generates the transmit power control signal for each RF transmitter based on the signals received by the corresponding RF receiver, and that generates a power mode signal corresponding to a power consumption parameter of each RF transmitter in accordance with the selected transmit power for each RF transmitter.
