Abstract
An improved FET for use as a voltage-controlled resistor includes a p-type control gate and a high-resistance connection to receive a control signal. The bootstrap frequency for the device is much lower than the signal frequency so that the signal frequency is decoupled from the control voltage to reduce distortion.
