Abstract
Disclosed herein are silicon-on-insulator (SOI) switches and associated control circuits having level shifters configured to provide increased voltages (positive and/or negative) to the switches. The disclosed level shifters can be configured to provide increased voltages and can be used with high-linearity switches and/or can improve the linearity of switches. The improved switch performance can improve front end module performance for applications such as carrier aggregation (CA) and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) as well as with protocols such as Long-Term Evolution Advanced (or LTE-A).
