Abstract
A bias generator and a method for generating a bias voltage are presented. The bias generator is for use with an electronic circuit comprising a first switch coupled in series with a second switch. The bias generator is adapted to generate a reference voltage, a first bias voltage, and a second bias voltage. The second bias voltage is based on the reference voltage. After applying the first voltage to the first switch and the second voltage to the second switch, the bias generator controls a voltage across the first switch. The bias generator may be adapted to set a value of the reference voltage to control the voltage across the first switch. For instance, the reference voltage may be set to a fix value so that the voltage across the first switch is maintained at a constant value.
