Gate resistor bypass for RF FET switch stack

A method to controllably bypass a resistor across a series combination of an nMOS transistor and a pMOS transistor, the series combination receiving a control signal that switches from a first static state to a second static state and vice versa, the method comprising:

• in the first static state of the control signal, setting of the nMOS transistor in an ON state and setting the pMOS transistor in an OFF state, the ON state of the nMOS transistor and the OFF state of the pMOS transistor establishing or re-establishing a high impedance status of the series combination and not bypassing the resistor;
• during a first transition of the control signal from the first static state to the second static state, keeping the nMOS transistor in the ON state, and setting the pMOS transistor in an ON state, the ON state of the nMOS transistor and the ON state of the pMOS transistor establishing a low impedance status of the series combination and bypassing the resistor;
• and
• in the second static state of the control signal, keeping the pMOS transistor in the ON state, and setting the nMOS transistor in an OFF state, the OFF state of the nMOS transistor and the ON state of the pMOS transistor establishing or re-establishing a high impedance status of the series combination and not bypassing the resistor.
