Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, A device includes: a first node configured to be coupled to a component to be tuned; a second node configured to be coupled to an inductor; a path including a capacitor coupling the first node and the second node; and a first switch coupled between the second node and a ground node.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a first node configured to be coupled to a component to be tuned;
- a second node configured to be coupled to an inductor;
- a path including a capacitor coupling the first node and the second node;
- and
- a first switch coupled between the second node and a ground node, wherein the capacitor is configured to reduce an effect of a parasitic off capacitance of the first switch at the first node when the first switch is open.
