Abstract
An analog switch used in a switched capacitor filter has N-channel and P-channel MOS FETs connected in parallel between input and output switch terminals, with capacitor charge currents being periodically produced from the output terminal. The filter derives an output signal with respect to a reference voltage and maintains the switch input and output terminal at the reference voltage, while respective substrate potentials of the N-channel and P-channel MOS FETs are fixed at the reference voltage, so that the analog switch does not produce an external flow of leakage current that can affect the output signal of the filter during each interval when the switch is open.
