Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment, a radio frequency (RF) switching circuit includes a plurality of series connected RF switch cells having a load path and a control node, and a switch driver coupled to the control node. Each of the plurality of series connected RF switch cells includes a switch transistor and a gate resistor having a first end coupled to a gate of the switch transistor and a second end coupled to the control node. The switch driver includes a variable output impedance that varies with a voltage of the control node.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of operating a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) comprising a first RF switch disposed on a semiconductor substrate, the first RF switch having a load path coupled between a first terminal and a second terminal; and a first RF switch driver coupled to a first control node of the first RF switch, the first RF switch driver comprising a first current source coupled between a first reference node and the first control node and a second current source coupled between a second reference node and the first control node, the method comprising:\n turning on the first RF switch, turning on the first RF switch comprising activating the first current source and deactivating the second current source; and turning off the first RF switch, turning off the first RF switch comprising activating the second current source and deactivating the first current source.
