Abstract

An analog switch circuit is disclosed. The analog switch circuit includes a MOSFET and a control switch. The MOSFET includes a drain electrode, a source electrode, a gate electrode, and a body electrode. A gate bias is applied on the gate electrode to control whether the MOSFET is ON or OFF. The control switch includes a control terminal, a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal. A control bias relating to the gate bias is applied to the control terminal so that the first terminal is connected to the second terminal when the MOSFET is ON, and the first terminal is connected to the third terminal when the MOSFET is OFF. The second terminal is connected to a first voltage source providing a first bias. The third terminal is connected to a second voltage source providing a second bias different from the first bias.
