Patent ID: 8525575

Claim:
A system comprising: a pass switch circuit including: a pass transistor having a first source/drain connection, a second source/drain connection, and a gate input, wherein the pass switch circuit is configured to pass an electronic signal from the first source/drain connection to the second source/drain connection in response to activation of the gate input; and an impedance circuit communicatively coupled to the pass transistor, wherein an impedance transfer function of the pass switch circuit is determined at least in part by an impedance of the impedance circuit, and wherein the impedance of the impedance circuit sets the corner frequency of the impedance transfer function of the combined pass switch circuit and impedance circuit sufficiently low to minimize attenuation of the electronic signal; a first pass switch activation circuit communicatively coupled to the pass switch circuit and configured to provide a first activation signal to the gate input in response to an enable signal; and a second pass switch activation circuit communicatively coupled to the pass switch circuit, wherein the second pass switch activation circuit is configured to provide a pre-activation signal to the gate input in response to the enable signal, and wherein an activating transition of the pre-activation signal occurs before an activating transition of the first activation signal.
