Abstract
In described examples, a multi-terminal switch includes first and second switches, and first, second, and third inductors. The first switch and first inductor are coupled between first terminals, the second switch and second inductor are coupled between second terminals, and the third inductor is coupled between third terminals. In a first mode, the first switch is opened and the second switch is closed. Opening the first switch and closing the second switch enables a first connection between the first terminals and the third terminals via a first magnetic coupling between the first and third inductors. In a second mode, the first switch is closed and the second switch is opened. Closing the first switch and opening the second switch enables a second connection between the second terminals and the third terminals via a second magnetic coupling between the second and third inductors.
