Zusammenfassung:An apparatus is disclosed including a wireless transceiver implementing transformer reconfigurability. In an example aspect, the apparatus includes a common single-ended node, a common differential node pair, and a transceiver path set. The transceiver path set includes a first transceiver path and a second transceiver path. The first transceiver path comprises a first single-ended interface and a first differential interface and includes a first transformer. The second transceiver path comprises a second single-ended interface and a second differential interface and includes a second transformer. The apparatus also includes single-ended switch circuitry and differential switch circuitry. The single-ended switch circuitry is coupled between each transceiver path of the transceiver path set and the common single-ended node. The differential switch circuitry is coupled between each transceiver path of the transceiver path set and the common differential node pair. Alternatively, an apparatus can include multiple single-ended nodes including first and second single-ended nodes.
