Radio-frequency switches and related circuits

Abstract:

Radio-frequency switches and related circuits are disclosed. In some embodiments, a switching device can include a series arm having transistors implemented in a stack configuration between first and second nodes. The switching device can further include a shunt arm having transistors implemented in a stack configuration between the first node and a ground node. The switching device can further include a bias architecture having a series arm bias circuit and a shunt arm bias circuit. The series arm bias circuit can be configured to bias the transistors of the series arm and include a gate-gate resistor that couples each pair of neighboring transistors. The shunt arm bias circuit can be configured to bias the transistors of the shunt arm and include a gate-gate resistor that couples each pair of neighboring transistors.
