Active device e.g. transistor for wireless communication device, has bulk terminal receiving forward bias signal in ON state when control signal is in OFF state and forward bias signal is in OFF state when control signal is in ON state

摘要

The active device (100) has a gate terminal (124) which receives control signal having primary signal characteristic. A bulk terminal (128) receives forward bias signal having secondary signal characteristic. The signal characteristics are selected such that the forward bias signal is in ON state for a portion of time when the control signal is in OFF state. The forward bias signal is in OFF state for a portion of time when the control signal is in ON state. An independent claim is included for method for operating active device.
