Abstract

See full text

Circuits and methods related to a switch having extended termination bandwidth are disclosed. A switch having an input end and an output end, and capable of being in an ON state and an OFF state, can include a termination circuit configured to yield an extended frequency bandwidth in which a desired OFF state termination impedance is provided. A termination circuit may include two or more electrically parallel resistor-capacitor branches coupled to the switch input or output end. A switch termination circuit may provide an OFF state termination impedance that is substantially equal to the switch ON state termination impedance. Also, a termination circuit may enable a desired termination impedance without sacrificing other switch performance features, including insertion loss, isolation, or VSWR difference between ON and OFF states. Also disclosed are examples of how the foregoing features can be implemented in different products and methods of fabrication.
