Abstract
The present application discloses systems and methods to for a high speed electronic switch with the internal capability to reduce noise. This noise reduction is accomplished through a noise suppression circuit. A noise source is connected a signal source; a noise suppression circuit is electrically connected to the switching source; and a switch driver is electrically connected to a noise suppression circuit. The noise reduction unit prevents noise from being propagated from the noise source to an output switch, thereby preventing the noise from reaching the downstream signal line.
