Abstract

See full text

Methods and circuital arrangements for turning OFF branches of a multi-branch cascode amplifier are presented. First and second switching arrangements coupled to a branch allow turning OFF the branch while protecting transistors of the branch from a supply voltage that may be greater than a tolerable voltage of the transistors. The first switching arrangement includes a transistor-based switch that is in series connection with the transistors of the branch. The first switching arrangement drops the supply voltage during the OFF state of the branch and provides a conduction path for a current through the branch during the ON state of the branch. A resistor and a shunting switch are coupled to a gate of the transistor-based switch to reduce parasitic coupling effects of the transistor-based switch upon an RF signal coupled to the branch during the ON state and OFF state of the branch.
