Abstract
High-bandwidth, analog multiplexer circuits with low signal feed-through and good common mode properties are described. These are BiCMOS circuits with N-MOS control transistors which emphasize low parasitic capacitance through circuit layout techniques and the use of smaller geometry devices where possible. These circuits can be used in both single-ended and differential configurations and address applications having multiplexing ratio requirements ranging from 2-to-1 up to many-to-1.
