Abstract:
A device can be configured to provide isolation between conductive circuit paths and to selectively connect one of the conductive circuit paths to a shared interface. Each conductive circuit path can include driver circuitry designed to transmit signals according to a particular protocol and a corresponding signal speed. The shared interface can be, in one instance, a connector designed for connection to other devices. The other devices can be configured to communicate over the shared interface using one or more of the particular protocols provided using the different circuit paths.
High-Speed Switch With Signal-Follower Control Offsetting Effective Visible-Impedance Loading

Abstract:
A data link circuit switches high-speed signals through FET-based circuitry between channels. A FET responds to control signals at the gate terminal to operate in either a signal-passing mode or another (blocking) mode. In the passing mode, an AC (high-speed) signal is passed between the S-D terminals by coupling a first signal portion (of the AC signal) and with another signal portion diverted by the inherent capacitances associated with the FET. For offsetting the loading caused by the inherent capacitances associated with the FET-based switch, a biasing circuit is configured and arranged to bias the back-gate terminal of the FET transistor with a follower signal.
