Abstract:
Apparatuses for reducing leakage currents during an off state for transistors is described herein. An example apparatus includes a switch having an input node and an output node. The switch is configured to couple a signal on the input to the output node when the switch is in an on state and is further configured to decouple the input and output nodes when the switch is in an off state. The switch includes first and second transistors, and further includes third and fourth transistors. A drain electrode of the first transistor is coupled to a source electrode of the third transistor, a drain electrode of the second transistor is coupled to a source electrode of the fourth transistor, and the drain electrodes of the third and fourth transistors are coupled together to the output node.
