Patent ID: 7046071

Claim:
A multiplexer having a first data input lead, a second data input lead, and a data output lead, the multiplexer structure comprising: a plurality of series capacitor coupling (SCC) structures, each SCC structure having an input lead, a control lead, and an output lead, wherein the input lead is capacitively coupled to the output lead when the control lead is floating, and wherein the input lead is de-coupled from the output lead when the control lead is driven with a DC voltage, wherein the input lead of a first of the SCC structures is the first data input lead of the multiplexer, and wherein the input lead of a second of the SCC structures is the second data input lead of the multiplexer, and wherein the output lead of the first SCC structure is coupled to the output lead of the second SCC structure; an output latch having an input lead and an output lead, the input lead of the output latch being coupled to the output lead of the first SCC structure, the output lead of the output latch being the data output lead of the multiplexer; and wherein capacitive plates form the input lead, the control lead, and the output lead of each SCC structure.
