Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for biasing radio frequency (RF) switches to achieve fast switching are disclosed herein. In certain configurations, a switch bias circuit generates a switch control voltage for turning on or off a switch that handles RF signals. The switch bias circuit provides the switch control voltage to a control input of the switch by way of a resistor. Additionally, the switch bias circuit pulses the switch control voltage when turning on or off the switch to thereby shorten switching time. Thus, the switch can be turned on or off quickly, which allows the switch to be available for use soon after the state of the switch has been changed.

Claim (Index 9):
A method of switch control to provide fast switching speed, the method comprising:\n controlling an impedance of a radio frequency (RF) switch using a switch control voltage from a switch bias circuit, including providing the switch control voltage from an output of the switch bias circuit to a control input of the RF switch through a resistor; providing a control signal to a control logic circuit and to a delay circuit that is configured to time a delay duration, the control signal indicating whether to turn on or turn off the RF switch; generating a pulse of the switch control voltage for a delay duration in response to a transition of the control signal to thereby shorten a delay in switching the RF switch; and changing the switch control voltage after the delay duration while the control signal is provided to the logic control circuit.
