Abstract
Bussing high frequency crosspoint switches is achieved by extending an output transmission line bus through an integrated circuit (IC) upon which the crosspoint switch is laid. The internal portion of the output transmission line bus is coupled to an output pad on the IC via a bond wire. This eliminates stubs from the output of the IC to the output transmission line as well as compensating for parasitic capacitance associated with the output pad.
