Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods related to electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection in radio frequency (RF) switch circuitry are provided. An electrostatic discharge (ESD)-protected radio frequency (RF) switch circuitry includes a common port; at least one terminal port; a switch circuitry coupled between the common port and the at least one terminal port, wherein the switch circuitry comprises one or more transistors connected in a stacked configuration; and a first ESD protection circuitry coupled between a gate of a first transistor of the one or more transistors and a driver circuitry for the first transistor.
