Abstract
This disclosure relates to a bootstrapped switching circuit. Example embodiments include a bootstrapped switching circuit () comprising: a positive output node (+); a negative output node (−); a first input node () configured to receive a first input voltage (Vin); a second input node () configured to receive a second input voltage (Vin). First, second third and fourth switches (-) are coupled between the input and output nodes (−). A first negative bootstrapped level shifter () and a first positive bootstrapped level shifter () coupled between the first input node () and a first clock signal circuit () provide control signals to the first and second switches (). A second negative bootstrapped level shifter () and a second positive bootstrapped level shifter () coupled between the second input node () and a second ground referenced supply line () provide control signals to the third and fourth switches (). Each of the first, second, third and fourth switches () comprise first and second MOSFETs () of an opposite type in a series connected arrangement.
