Abstract

Provided is a signal selection circuit including a control circuit capable of generating a drive signal having a fast rise/fall time. A positive feedback circuit is provided to the control circuit, which generates the drive signal for controlling a plurality of switches configured to switch an input signal to provide the signal to an output terminal.

Claims (17)

1 . A signal selection circuit, comprising:

a first switch arranged between a first input terminal and a first output terminal;

a second switch arranged between a second input terminal and the first output terminal;

a third switch arranged between the first input terminal and a second output terminal;

a fourth switch arranged between the second input terminal and the second output terminal; and

a control circuit configured to

output a first control signal for controlling the first switch and the fourth switch, and a second control signal for controlling the second switch and the third switch by a clock signal provides from a clock input terminal,

the control circuit comprising:

a first inverter connected to the clock input terminal; and

a positive feedback circuit connected to both ends of the first inverter.

2 . A signal selection circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the positive feedback circuit comprises:

a first MOS transistor having a gate connected to an input terminal of the first inverter;

a second MOS transistor having a gate connected to an output terminal of the first inverter;

a second inverter having an input terminal connected to a drain of the first MOS transistor, and an output terminal connected to a drain of the second MOS transistor; and

a third inverter having an input terminal connected to the drain of the second MOS transistor, and an output terminal connected to the drain of the first MOS transistor.

3 . A semiconductor device, comprising the signal selection circuit of claim 1 .

4 . A semiconductor device, comprising the signal selection circuit of claim 2 .
