Abstract

A FET switch stack and a method to operate a FET switch stack. The FET switch stack includes a stacked arrangement of body bypass FET switches connected across respective common body resistors. The body bypass FET switches bypass the respective common body resistors during the OFF steady state of the FET switch stack and do not bypass the respective common body resistors during the ON steady state.
