Abstract
Methods and devices to reduce gate induced drain leakage current in RF switch stacks are disclosed. The described devices utilize multiple discharge paths and/or less negative body bias voltages without compromising non-linear performance and power handling capability of power switches. Moreover, more compact bias voltage generation circuits with smaller footprint can be implemented as part of the disclosed devices.
