Abstract
A zero voltage drop switch in a negative switch circuit. The zero voltage drop switch substantially passes the entire negative voltage signal provided by a negative voltage source to the output of the negative switch circuit. The zero voltage drop switch includes a switch circuit coupled to a bootstrapping circuit which augments the voltage passed by the switch circuit. The bootstrapping circuit includes a pair of capacitive devices that receive a pair of non-overlapping clock signals.
