1. A radio-frequency module comprising:
a packaging substrate configured to receive a plurality of components; and
a power amplification system implemented on the packaging substrate, the power amplification system including a power amplifier configured to be powered by a power supply and a control system, the control system including an interface configured to receive a transceiver control signal from a transceiver, the interface including one or more control registers including one or more power amplifier control registers and one or more power supply control registers, the control system further including a power amplifier control component configured to generate a power amplifier control signal to control the power amplifier based on the transceiver control signal received from the transceiver and configured to generate a local control signal, the power amplifier control component configured to overwrite one or more of the power supply control registers with the local control signal, the control system further including a power supply component configured to generate a power supply control signal to control the power supply based on one or more of the transceiver control signal and the local control signal.
