Abstract:
A low capacitance n-channel analog switch circuit, a p-channel analog switch circuit, and a full CMOS transmission gate (T-gate) circuit are described. Resistive decoupling can be used to isolate the switch or T-gate from AC grounds. A semiconductor region that is separated from a body region of a pass field-effect transistor (FET), such as by an insulator, can be coupled to or driven to a voltage similar to the input voltage or other desired bias voltage (e.g., an operational amplifier output) to help reduce parasitic capacitance of the switch or T-gate. The switch or T-gate can help provide improved frequency bandwidth or frequency response. The switch can be useful in a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) or programmable gain instrumentation amplifier (PGIA) or other circuit in which excessive switch capacitance could degrade circuit performance.
