In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, the switch stack 01 may be mainly formed by connecting a plurality of switch units 011 in series, that is, a transistor stacking method. By connecting a plurality of switch units 011 in series to form the switch bonded store, a large voltage swing to be carried can be distributed to each of the stacked switch units 011, and thus the power capacity and linearity can be significantly improved.
As a specific example, the switching unit 011 may include an NMOS transistor (N-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor), a gate bias resistor Rg, a body bias resistor Rb, and a drain-source linearization resistor Rds. The gate G of the NMOS transistor may be connected to a first terminal of a gate bias resistor Rg, the substrate B of the NMOS transistor may be connected to a first terminal of a body bias resistor Rb, the source S and the drain D of the NMOS transistor may be connected to each other through a drain-source linearization resistor Rds, a second terminal of the gate bias resistor Rg may be configured to input a gate bias voltage, and a second terminal of the body bias resistor Rb may be configured to input a body bias voltage.

For example, the NMOS transistor may be the first NMOS transistor M1, the second NMOS transistor M2, the third NMOS transistor M3, the fourth NMOS transistor M4, or the like illustrated in fig. 1. The number of switching units 011 connected in series in the switch bonded store 01 may be regarded as the order of the switch bonded store 01, for example, if 16 NMOS transistors are connected in series in the switch bonded store 01, this may be referred to as 16-order switch bonded store.
In the embodiment of the present application, an NMOS transistor is used as a switching transistor in the switching unit 011, and it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the switching transistor in the switching unit 011 may also be another controllable semiconductor switching device, for example, may include at least one of a MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor, abbreviated as MOS transistor) and an IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor).
According to the embodiment of the application, the grid bias resistor Rg and the body region bias resistor Rb can isolate the radio frequency signal from the direct current signal, prevent the radio frequency signal from leaking to the equivalent alternating current grounding end of the grid, reduce radio frequency loss, and improve the voltage bearing capacity of the switch unit 011, for example, the voltage bearing capacity of the switch unit 011 can be improved by at least one time when the switch unit 011 is turned off, and the drain-gate junction of the NMOS transistor is prevented from being broken down prematurely, so that the power capacity of the switch bonded store 01 can be improved. And through drain-source linearization resistor Rds, the DC potential of the drain and source ends can be stabilized, the drain and source potential of FET can be stabilized at the ground potential in the series-parallel switch structure, and the drain and source are prevented from generating obvious DC voltage drop in the switching process of the switch. The on or off of the NMOS transistor is controlled by the gate bias voltage and the body bias voltage, thereby controlling the on or off of the switch bonded store.
In an alternative embodiment, the switch stack 01 may further include a gate common resistor Rgc and a body common resistor Rbc. A first terminal of the gate common resistor Rgc is configured to input a gate bias voltage, and a second terminal of the gate common resistor Rgc is connected to a second terminal of the gate bias resistor Rg of each of the switching units 011, respectively. A first terminal of the body common resistor Rbc is configured to input a body bias voltage, and a second terminal of the body common resistor Rbc is connected to a second terminal of the body bias resistor Rb of each switching unit 011, respectively. According to the embodiment of the application, the power capacity of the switch bonded store 01 can be further improved through the grid common resistor Rgc and the body region common resistor Rbc.
Therefore, based on the current demands for power capacity and linearity of the radio frequency switch, the embodiment of the application provides a radio frequency switch, which is formed by adopting the switch stack 01. As shown in fig. 2, the radio frequency switch 100 includes a switch stack module 10 coupled to a first signal transmission port A1 and a second signal transmission port A2;
The switching stack module 10 includes a series module 11 and a parallel module 12, the series module 11 being connected between the first signal transmission port A1 and the second signal transmission port A2, the parallel module 12 being connected between the second signal transmission port A2 and the ground, one of the series module 11 and the parallel module 12 being disconnected during the other being on.
In the embodiment of the present application, the switch stack module 10 employs a switch stack 01. For example, at least one of the series module 11 and the parallel module 12 may employ an opening bonded store 01, and a module not employing an opening bonded store 01 may employ a controllable switching device to achieve controlled on or off to achieve controllable transmission of radio frequency signals. The controllable switching device may include at least one of BJT (triode), SCR (silicon controlled rectifier), GTO (gate turn off thyristor), MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor, abbreviated as MOS transistor), IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor), MCT (MOS controlled thyristor), and SIT (electrostatic induction transistor).
The first signal transmission port A1 may include an input/output port ANT of the radio frequency switch 100, and the second signal transmission port A2 may include an input port TX or an output port RX of the radio frequency switch 100. The rf switch 100 may include a plurality of signal transmission ports, where different channels are formed between the signal transmission ports, and the conduction of the switching channel realizes the transmission switching of the rf signal. These signal transmission ports may have one or more input/output ports ANT, one or more input ports TX and/or one or more output ports RX. Through these channels, radio frequency signals can be transmitted between the input port TX and the input/output port ANT or between the input/output port ANT and the output port RX. Each channel may be formed by a switch stack module 10. The serial module 11 and the parallel module 12 of the switch stack module 10 form a switch stack serial-parallel structure. This configuration can significantly increase the isolation of the rf switch with only a small impact on insertion loss. For different channels, the parallel-serial structure of the openings bonded store can be different to meet different requirements of each channel.
One of the series module 11 and the parallel module 12 is turned off during the other is turned on, which may be that the parallel module 12 is turned on when the series module 11 is turned off and the series module 11 is turned on when the parallel module 12 is turned off. The conduction of the serial module 11 enables the transmission of radio frequency signals between the first signal transmission port A1 and the second signal transmission port A2. At this time, the parallel module 12 is disconnected and receives the voltage of the transmitted rf signal, and receives a high voltage if the transmitted rf signal is a high power rf signal. Thus, if the parallel module 12 includes the switch bonded store 01, the power capacity can be increased, and the voltage that can be born can be increased. The disconnection of the serial module 11 disconnects the transmission of the radio frequency signal between the first signal transmission port A1 and the second signal transmission port A2. The disconnected series module 11 is also subjected to the voltage of the transmitted radio frequency signal. Therefore, if the series module 11 includes the switch bonded store 01, the power capacity can be increased, and the sustainable voltage can be increased. At this time, the parallel module 12 is turned on, so that the second signal transmission port A2 may be grounded, thereby significantly increasing the isolation of the radio frequency switch and improving the linearity.
According to the embodiment of the application, the radio frequency switch comprises the switch Guan Zhan module, and the switch stack module comprises the series module and the parallel module, so that the switch isolation of the radio frequency switch can be improved, and strict linearity requirements can be met. And the power capacity of the radio frequency switch can be improved through the switch stack module so as to meet the transmission requirement of high-power radio frequency signals.
In an alternative embodiment, both series module 11 and parallel module 12 include switch bonded store 01.
In the embodiment of the present application, the number of switch stacks 01 in the series module 11 and the parallel module 12 may be set according to actual requirements. The power capacity and the linearity of the series module 11 and the parallel module 12 can be respectively improved by the fact that the series module 11 and the parallel module 12 comprise the switch bonded store, so that the power capacity and the linearity of the radio frequency switch are integrally improved. The greater the number of switching tubes in series in the switch bonded store, i.e., the higher the order, the higher the voltage that it can withstand and the higher the power capacity. So to increase the power capacity, higher order switch stacks may be employed.
In an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the first signal transmission port A1 includes a first input/output port ANT1, and the second signal transmission port A2 includes a first output port RX1;
The radio frequency switch 100 comprises a first switch stack module 101 coupled between a first input output port ANT1 and a first output port RX1, wherein the first switch stack module 101 comprises a first series module T1 and a first parallel module S1;
The first serial module T1 is connected between the first input/output port ANT1 and the first output port RX1, the first parallel module S1 is connected between the first output port RX1 and the ground, and one of the first serial module T1 and the first parallel module S1 is turned off during the other is turned on.
In an alternative embodiment, the second signal transmission port A2 further includes a second output port RX2;
The radio frequency switch 100 further comprises a second switch stack module 102 coupled between the first input/output port ANT1 and the second output port RX2, wherein the second switch stack module 102 comprises a second series module T2 and a second parallel module S2;
The second series module T2 is connected between the first input/output port ANT1 and the second output port RX2, the second parallel module S2 is connected between the second output port RX2 and the ground, one of the second series module T2 and the second parallel module S2 is turned off during the turn-on period of the other, and the other switch bonded store modules are turned off during the turn-on period of any one of the first switch stack module 101 and the second switch stack module 102.
In an alternative embodiment, the second signal transmission port A2 further comprises a first input port TX1;
the radio frequency switch 100 further comprises a third switch stack module 103 coupled between the first input/output port ANT1 and the first input port TX1, wherein the third switch stack module 103 comprises a third series module T3 and a third parallel module S3;
The third series module T3 is connected between the first input/output port ANT1 and the first input port TX1, the third parallel module S3 is connected between the first input port TX1 and the ground, one of the third series module T3 and the third parallel module S3 is turned off during the turn-on period of the other, and the other switch bonded store modules are turned off during the turn-on period of any one of the first, second, and third switch stack modules 101, 102, 103.
In the embodiment of the application, the switching stack module can be switched on by the serial module and switched off by the parallel module, and the switching stack module can be switched off by the serial module and switched on by the parallel module.
For example, if the channel between the first input/output port ANT1 and the first input port TX1 is on, the third switch stack module 103 is on, and the first switch stack module 101 and the second switch stack module 102 are off. That is, the third series module T3, the first parallel module S1, and the second parallel module S2 are turned on, and the third parallel module S3, the first series module T1, and the second series module T2 are turned off.
If the channel between the first input/output port ANT1 and the second output port RX2 is on, the second switch stack module 102 is on, and the first switch stack module 101 and the third switch stack module 103 are off. That is, the second parallel module T2, the first parallel module S1, and the third parallel module S3 are turned on, and the second parallel module S2, the first serial module T1, and the third serial module T3 are turned off.
If the channel between the first input/output port ANT1 and the first output port RX1 is on, the first switch stack module 101 is on, and the second switch stack module 102 and the third switch stack module 103 are off. That is, the first, second and third parallel modules T1, S2 and S3 are turned on, and the first, second and third parallel modules S1, T2 and T3 are turned off.
In an alternative embodiment, the first, second and third series modules T1, T2 and T3 each comprise at least two switch stacks connected in parallel.
In the embodiment of the application, the on-resistance can be reduced by increasing the width of the conducting channel in the NMOS transistor so as to reduce the insertion loss. However, too wide a conduction channel of a single NMOS transistor may cause a voltage drop across its gate terminal, which is also undesirable. Therefore, the effect of increasing the total width can be achieved by connecting the plurality of openings bonded store in parallel, the insertion loss can be effectively reduced, and the defect caused by the excessively wide conducting channel of the single NMOS transistor can be overcome.
In the embodiment of the present application, the channel with the input port TX may be a TX channel, and the channel with the output port RX may be an RX channel. The switch stack modules in both the TX and RX channels have the advantage of high power capacity and high linearity, where the TX channel needs to withstand relatively higher power, while the RX channel requires relatively less power, but requires lower insertion loss. For example, when the third serial module T3 of the TX channel passes through the high-power radio frequency signal, the two ends of the first serial module T1, the second serial module T2 and the third parallel module S3 that are turned off will bear high voltage, so the first serial module T1, the second serial module T2 and the third parallel module S3 need to have more orders of opening bonded store relative to other modules. For another example, to reduce the insertion loss, the first serial module T1, the second serial module T2, or the third serial module T3 may be connected in parallel to the switch bonded store. Therefore, the number and the connection manner of the switch stacks in the first serial module T1, the second serial module T2 and the third serial module T3 can be set according to actual requirements. For example, each may include one switch stack or more than two switches bonded store connected in parallel. For example, two or more switches bonded store may be connected in parallel to each of the first, second, and third series modules T1, T2, and T3. In addition, the first parallel module S1, the second parallel module S2, and the third parallel module S3 may each include one switch bonded store or more switch stacks connected in parallel, and may be set according to actual requirements.
To this end, as a specific example, the first and second series modules T1 and T2 are respectively two 16-stage openings bonded store connected in parallel, wherein the width of the conductive channel of each NMOS transistor in the openings bonded store is 1.5mm;
The third series module T3 is two 8-stage openings bonded store connected in parallel, wherein the width of the conductive channel of each NMOS transistor in the openings bonded store is 1.5mm;
The first parallel module S1 and the second parallel module S2 are each a single 12-step switch bonded store, wherein the width of the conductive channel of each NMOS transistor in the switch bonded store is 1mm;
The third parallel module S3 is a single 16-stage switch bonded store, where the width of the conductive channel of each NMOS transistor in the switch bonded store is 1mm.
In the embodiment of the application, the width of the conducting channel of the NMOS transistor, namely the width in the width-to-length ratio. The first serial module T1 and the second serial module T2 are respectively connected in parallel with two 16-step switches Guan Zhan with the width of 1.5mm, so that the total width is 3mm, and the third serial module T3 is connected in parallel with two 8-step switches Guan Zhan with the width of 1.5mm, so that the total width is 3mm, and the insertion loss is reduced. The first serial module T1, the second serial module T2 and the third parallel module S3 are 16-order switches bonded store respectively, so that the high-power-bearing capacity is realized, and when the TX channel needs to transmit high-power radio frequency signals, the safe and stable operation of the radio frequency switch can be ensured.
The embodiment of the application also provides a radio frequency switch module, as shown in fig. 4, which comprises a positive and negative voltage generating circuit 200, a logic control circuit 300 and the radio frequency switch 100;
the positive and negative voltage generating circuit 200 is configured to supply a positive bias voltage and a negative bias voltage;
The logic control circuit 300 is configured to determine and output two sets of bias voltages according to the positive bias voltage and the negative bias voltage under the control of the logic control signal, so that the series module 11 and the parallel module 12 in the switch stack module 10 of the radio frequency switch 100 are respectively turned off during the next turn-on period under the control of the two sets of bias voltages.
In the embodiment of the present application, the positive bias voltage and the negative bias voltage provided by the positive and negative voltage generating circuit 200 may be set according to actual requirements. For example, the positive bias voltage may be 2.5V and the negative bias voltage may be-2.5V. The logic control circuit 300 can be set according to actual requirements. For example, a circuit mainly composed of logic gates may be used to switch between a positive bias voltage and a negative bias voltage under the control of a logic control signal to output different bias voltage combinations. According to the embodiment of the application, the switch bonded store module is controlled to be switched on or off by controlling the bias voltage output by the logic control circuit through the logic control signal, so that the switching of a conducting path of the radio frequency switch can be realized, and the controlled transmission of signals is realized. And the power capacity and the linearity of the radio frequency switch are improved through the switch stack module of the radio frequency switch.
