Abstract

Devices and methods for layout-dependent voltage handling improvement in switch stacks. In some embodiments, a switching device can include a first terminal and a second terminal, a radio-frequency signal path implemented between the first terminal and the second terminal, and a plurality of switching elements connected in series to form a stack between the second terminal and ground. The stack can have an orientation relative to the radio-frequency signal path, and the switching elements can have a non-uniform distribution of a first parameter based in part on the orientation of the stack.
