High voltage tolerant analog switch
Abstract:
An analog switch circuit is provided. The circuit includes a branch coupled between an input terminal and an output terminal. The branch is configured to transfer an input signal at the input terminal to the output terminal when a control signal is at a first state. A transistor in the branch includes a current electrode coupled at the input terminal and is configured for receiving the input signal having a voltage exceeding a voltage rating of the transistor. A level shifter includes an output coupled to a control electrode of the transistor and is configured to provide a first voltage sufficient to cause the transistor to be conductive without exceeding the voltage rating of the first transistor when the control signal is at the first state. A voltage generator is coupled to the level shifter and is configured to generate the first voltage based on the input signal.
