Claims
- 1. A method for producing a switch operating at a low control voltage, the method comprising:
forming a plurality of field effect transistors (FETs) connected together in series, wherein the plurality of FETs have six gates therebetween; connecting a first FET to a source voltage source; connecting each gate to a control voltage source; and connecting a last FET to an output.
- 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising connecting at least one feed forward capacitor to one of the plurality of FETs.
- 3. The method of claim 2, wherein said connecting at least one feed forward capacitor includes connecting the feed forward capacitor between a gate and either a source or a drain of the one of the plurality of FETs.
- 4. The method of claim 2, wherein said connecting at least one feed forward capacitor includes connecting a first feed-forward capacitor to a source and a gate of a first FET and a second feed-forward capacitor to a drain and a gate of a last FET.
- 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising connecting a resistance between at least a subset of the six gates and the control voltage source.
- 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising connecting a resistance in parallel to at least a subset of the FETs.
- 7. The method of claim 6, wherein said connecting a resistance in parallel includes connecting a resistor in parallel to all of the plurality of FETs.
- 8. The method of claim 6, wherein said connecting a resistance in parallel includes connecting a resistor in parallel to each FET of the plurality of FETs.
