Abstract
This document discusses, among other things, a switching device and method configured to receive a signal at a signal input, to provide the signal at an output in a first state without an applied voltage at a first control input, and to isolate the signal from the output in a second state with an applied voltage at the first control input. In an example, the switching device can include first, second, and third transistors, wherein the source of the first transistor is coupled to the drain of the second transistor and to the gate of the third transistor, wherein the signal input is coupled to the drain of the first transistor and to the drain of the third transistor, and wherein the output is coupled to the source of the third transistor.
