A coupling apparatus having plurality of branches and a resistive element is disclosed. Each branch may be configured to couple at least one of (i) a first input node and (ii) a second input node to a first output node through a plurality of switches and a plurality of capacitors. The resistive element generally connects the first output node to a second output node. The first output node may be loaded by a respective parasitic capacitance of at least one of the switches.

AC coupling circuit with hybrid switches and constant load

A coupling apparatus having a first branch and a second branch is disclosed. The first branch generally comprises (A) a first switch group configured to connect an input signal to an output node through a first capacitor, and (B) second switch group configured to connect either (i) a second signal, or (ii) a ground voltage, to the output node through a second capacitor. The second branch generally comprises (A) a third switch group configured to connect the input signal to the output node through a third capacitor, and (B) a fourth switch group configured to connect either (i) the second signal, or (ii) the ground voltage, to the output node through a fourth capacitor.
