Abstract:
A switching circuit for coupling a first node to a second node, said switching circuit comprising:a driver circuit which is floating;a first transistor, having a source, a gate and a drain, with one control node coupled to the output of said driver circuit; anda second transistor, having a source, a gate and a drain, with an other control node coupled to said output of said driver circuit and wherein said sources of said first and second transistors are coupled together and are floating and form said one of said control nodes coupled to said output of said driver circuit and said gates of said first and second transistors are coupled together and form the other of said control nodes coupled to said output of said driver circuit; andwherein said first and second transistors are coupled in series so as to create a current path from a first node to a second node when said output of said driver circuit is at a first voltage level.
