Abstract

See full text

A MOSFET switch is disclosed that is driven on by a circuit that provides a constant gate to source voltage, Vgs, that is independent of the input voltage, the power supply and any logic signals. The constant Vgs is derived from a reference voltage and biases the MOSFET switch such that Ron is constant, or Rflatness is minimized. A minimized Rflatness provides a higher fidelity transfer of audio signals compared to prior art switches where Rflatness is greater.
