Abstract

One or more systems and techniques for limiting a voltage potential between an antenna and a radio-frequency switch circuit are provided. A voltage controller comprises a voltage generator, a voltage detection circuit and a switch cell. The voltage detection circuit is coupled to the voltage generator and to the switch cell, and the switch cell is coupled to a voltage source, and to a node between the radio-frequency switch circuit and the antenna. When the voltage potential exceeds a specified threshold, the voltage generator produces a voltage which the voltage detection circuit measures such that the voltage detection circuit activates the switch cell, resulting in a short circuit between the radio-frequency switch circuit and the voltage source. This serves to inhibit the voltage potential from exceeding the specified threshold, for example. The invention also provides an application method of a power controller in a radio-frequency switch circuit.
