Abstract

A circuit to multiplex supply voltages may include a set of chains of transistors. Each chain of transistors may correspond to a voltage supply that is desired to be multiplexed and may include a set of transistors coupled in series. A first end terminal of each chain of transistors may be coupled to a corresponding voltage supply, and a second end terminal of each chain of transistors may be coupled to an output terminal of the circuit. A given supply voltage may be selected by turning on transistors in a chain of transistors that corresponds to the given supply voltage and turning off transistors in other chains of transistors.
