    摘要: A novel RF switch circuit and method for switching RF signals is described. The RF switch circuit is fabricated in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology. The RF switch includes pairs of switching and shunting transistor groupings used to alternatively couple RF input signals to a common RF mode. The switching and shunting transistor grouping pairs are controlled by a switching control voltage (SW) and its inverse (SW). The switching and shunting transistor groupings comprise one or more MOSFET transistors connected together in a "stacked" or serial configuration. The stacking of transistor grouping devices, and associated gate resistors, increase the breakdown voltage across the series connected switch transistors and operate to improve RF switch compression. A fully integrated RF switch is described including digital control logic and a negative voltage generator integrated together with the RF switch elements. In one embodiment, the fully integrated RF switch includes a built-in oscillator, a charge pump circuit, CMOS logic circuitry, level-shifting and voltage divider circuits, and an RF buffer circuit. Several embodiments of the charge pump, level-shifting voltage divider, and RF buffer circuits are described. The inventive RF switch provides improvements in insertion loss, switch isolation, and switch compression.

    摘要: A system and method for extending the operating life of a device susceptible to defects caused by total ionizing dose radiation and/or bias dependent degradation are described. The device is replicated at least once and at least one switching mechanism is used to cycle between the devices such that only one device is operating normally. While the first device is operating normally, the other devices are biased. The bias condition may slow, eliminate, or even reverse device shifts that occur due to total ionizing dose radiation or bias effects.

    摘要: Provided is an electronic control device capable of preventing all of semiconductor relays from being forcibly controlled to be opened by a self-protection shutoff function. An electronic control device (E) controls semiconductor relays (D1-Dn) provided in a load control unit (U), which correspond to loads (L1-Ln) mounted in an automobile. The electronic control device includes a temperature measuring means (P1) which measures the ambient temperature of the semiconductor relays (D1-Dn). The electronic control device also includes an operation restricting means (P2) which, when the temperature measured by the temperature measuring means (P1) is higher than or equal to an operation restriction temperature threshold set within an ambient temperature range in which the self-protection shutoff function is not performed in the semiconductor relays (D1-Dn), performs control for opening semiconductor relays (Dj) that correspond to some loads (Lj) among the loads (L1-Ln).
