1. Circuitry comprising:

  • a power amplifier (PA) bias power supply adapted to provide a bias power supply signal, which is used to bias radio frequency (RF) PA circuitry; and

    control circuitry adapted to;

    select a bias supply bypass operating mode of a charge pump of the PA bias power supply;

    enable charge pump circuitry of the charge pump; and

    switch from the bias supply bypass operating mode to a bias supply pump-up operating mode of the charge pump after making sure that the charge pump circuitry is capable of providing a voltage greater than or equal to a direct current (DC) power supply voltage by obtaining a positive indication from the charge pump.
