Abstract
A data link circuit switches high-speed signals through FET-based circuitry between channels. A FET responds to control signals at the gate terminal to operate in either a signal-passing mode or another (blocking) mode. In the passing mode, an AC (high-speed) signal is passed between the S-D terminals by coupling a first signal portion (of the AC signal) and with another signal portion diverted by the inherent capacitances associated with the FET. For offsetting the loading caused by the inherent capacitances associated with the FET-based switch, a biasing circuit is configured and arranged to bias the back-gate terminal of the FET transistor with a follower signal.
