Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for sharing a network with two switching devices forming a single pole double throw (SPDT) switch. Two SPDT switches can also be used in a double pole double throw (DPDT) configuration that shares a network, thus reducing component count and die size.
Claims13
A multi-port circuit to switch radio frequency (RF) signals among one or more RF signal paths, comprising
- a first RF switching device;
- a second RF switching device coupled to the first RF switching device;
- a third RF switching device coupled to the second RF switching device;
- a fourth RF switching device coupled to the third and first RF switching devices;
- and
- a shared circuit with one end coupled to the first and third RF switching devices, and the other end coupled to the second and fourth RF switch devices.
3 more elements
A double pole double throw (DPDT) switch having first, second, third and fourth ports, comprising:
- a. first and second switching devices each having first and second terminals, wherein the first terminals are coupled to the first port and the second terminals are coupled to the second port and the third port, respectively;
- b. third and fourth switching devices each having third and fourth terminals, wherein the third terminals are coupled to the fourth port and the fourth terminals are coupled to the second port and third port, respectively;
- and
- c. a shared network positioned between the second and third ports.
