Patent ID: 8427196

Claim:
A system for processing analog electrical signals comprising: analog circuitry supply circuitry configured to provide first and second analog supply potentials; a switch module having a control terminal and being switchable between a first state and a second state to thereby enable and inhibit, respectively, transfer of an analog electrical signal from a source module to a user module, based upon a driving electrical signal; a driving device configured to drive, based upon the driving electrical signal, the control terminal of the switch module, to cause the switch module to assume one of the first state and the second state, the driving device further allowing the switch module to carry out a first driving transition from the first state to the second state and a second driving transition from the second state to the first state; the driving device being configured to alternately couple the control terminal to a first reference potential during the first state and to a second reference potential during the second state; the driving device being further configured to couple the control terminal of the switch module to a third reference potential electrically distinct from the first and second analog supply potentials, during each time interval associated with at least one of the first and second driving transitions of the switch module.
