A dual-mode driver includes a transition stage and a static stage. The transition stage switches a bias voltage or an RF ground potential to an output pad to change the state of an RF actuator device connected at the output pad. After waiting a predetermined period of time for the RF actuator device to change state, the transition stage of the driver is disabled. A high-side or low-side static stage transistor maintains the driver output state through an isolation resistor. The isolation resistor and a capacitor formed at the driver output pad form an RC low-pass filter to block spurious noise generated at the driver. The RC filter also blocks RF energy that might otherwise enter the actuator driver from the actuator. Some embodiments also include a second RC filter located proximate to the output pad to prevent RF energy generated in the RF actuator from entering the driver.
