Abstract :
Presents a new approach for designing analog switches. Based on a two-current-conveyor cell, the switching element is suitable for continuous-time applications and offers high-linearity, low-noise, and high-frequency characteristics. Parasitic resistance and capacitance are improved and a wide bandwidth is achieved compared to previous approaches of traditional commercial circuits, the major interest of this new building block is to simulate an analog switch dedicated to the implementation of analog networks
