Abstract
Devices and circuits for high voltage switch (HVS) configurations. HVS may pass high voltage without suffering voltage drops. HVS may also guarantee safe operations for p-mos transistors. HVS may not sink current in its steady state. Further, HVS may select between two or more different voltage values to be passed onto the output node even after the high voltage has already been fully developed on the high voltage supply line.
