Abstract
A single integrated circuit that supports both power switching and data switching is disclosed. In some embodiments, the integrated circuit comprises a driver circuit configured to drive a switch of an associated line in a power mode or in a data mode and one or more decoupling capacitor ground switches, wherein each decoupling capacitor ground switch connects an associated decoupling capacitor to ground in the power mode and wherein each decoupling capacitor ground switch leaves an associated decoupling capacitor floating in the data mode.
