Abstract:
An integrated radio frequency (RF) switch and method of outputting one RF signal from a plurality of RF signals is provided. The integrated RF switch comprises an input decoder, a plurality of level shifter/drivers, a negative voltage generator and a dynamic bias circuit. The input decoder determines which one of the plurality of RF signals to output. Each one of the plurality of level shifter/drivers controls output of one of the plurality of RF signals. The negative voltage generator creates a negative voltage to drive the plurality of level shifter/drivers. The dynamic bias circuit generates a bias current for the plurality of level shifter/drivers, detects a change of state from the input decoder, generates a pulse in response to detecting the change of state, and increases the bias current for the plurality of level shifter/drivers for a duration of the pulse to decrease a switching time between two RF signals.
