Abstract
Apparatus and methods for capacitive load reduction are disclosed. In one embodiment, a mobile device includes a supply control circuit that controls a voltage of a supply network, a plurality of radio frequency circuits that receive power from the supply network and are selectively enabled by a plurality of enable signals, a plurality of switchable capacitors electrically connected to the supply network, a plurality of field-effect transistors operatively associated with the plurality of switchable capacitors, and a bias control circuit that generates a plurality of control signals that bias the plurality of field-effect transistors based on a state of the plurality of enable signals. Each of the plurality of control signals are operable to selectively bias a corresponding one of the plurality of field-effect transistors in a cutoff mode to provide high impedance or as a dampening resistor to suppress oscillations.
