Abstract
A switching network and associated method for operating within a transceiver are disclosed. The switching network has a timing control circuit that offsets the time at which a through switch and a shunt switch transition between on and off states. The output of the timing control circuit is an inverted and delayed version of a control signal applied to the input of the timing control circuit. Controlling the timing of the shunt switch provides a means to safely discharge any accumulated charge within the capacitance Cbetween the gate and source of transistors included within the through switch.
