Abstract:
A switch for an analog signal may include a main MOS transistor whose source forms an input terminal of the switch and whose drain forms an output terminal of the switch, a capacitor having a first terminal permanently connected to the source of the main transistor, a circuit for charging the capacitor, and a first auxiliary transistor configured to connect the second terminal of the capacitor to the gate of the main transistor in response to a control signal. The charge circuit may include a resistor permanently connecting the second terminal of the capacitor to a power supply line. The capacitor and the resistor may form a high-pass filter having a cutoff frequency lower than the frequency of the analog signal.
