Radio frequency (RF) switching circuitry includes support circuitry for maintaining one or more RF switching elements in either an ON or OFF state. The support circuitry includes a negative charge pump adapted to quickly generate a negative voltage during a “boost” mode of operation, and maintain the negative voltage during a normal mode of operation. The negative charge pump includes an oscillator adapted to generate a high frequency oscillating signal for driving the charge pump during the boost mode of operation and a low frequency oscillating signal for driving the charge pump during the normal mode of operation. By generating the high frequency oscillating signal only during a boost mode of operation, spurious noise coupled to the RF switch circuitry is minimized during a normal mode of operation.
