Process insensitive electronic driver circuitry for integrated RF switching diodes

An electronic driver circuitry for an integrated RF switching diode, comprising:

• a CMOS integrated circuit diode for RF switching;
• a first PMOS transistor and a first poly-resistor circuit electrically connected to and for switching ON/OFF said CMOS integrated circuit diode, said first PMOS transistor having an equal current as said CMOS integrated circuit diode;
• a second poly-resistor in electrically connected with said first polyresistor for compensating variations in resistance;
• a plurality of cascaded PMOS transistors in circuit connection with said first PMOS transistor for compensating variations in gain and voltage threshold of said CMOS integrated circuit diode;
• and
• a plurality of cascaded NMOS transistors in circuit connection with said plurality of PMOS transistors for compensating for variations in supply voltage, wherein said resistance compensation is due to a connection of a second PMOS transistor to a third PMOS transistor, said second PMOS transistor and said third PMOS transistor connected such that current in said second PMOS transistor follows the current in said third PMOS transistor and said third transistor is connected to said second poly-resistor through a fourth NMOS transistor whereby all compensation cancels out undesired variations keeping current across the CMOS integrated circuit diode constant.
