Bootstrapped Switch with a Highly Linearized Resistance

A circuit that is configured to provide a highly linearized resistance, the circuit comprising:

• a switch having an input, output, and a gate wherein the switch is configured in a bootstrap configuration;
• a high impedance element having a first and a second terminal, the first terminal coupled to the gate;
• a gate turn off element having a first terminal and a second terminal, the first terminal coupled to the gate and the first terminal of the high impedance element;
• a switch control input coupled to the second terminal of the high impedance element;
• wherein the switch is configured to:
• receive a signal via a bootstrapped switch;
• couple the received signal to a gate if the received signal is high;
• receive a signal via a switch control input coupled to a high impedance element, wherein the high impedance element is in further coupled to the gate;
• turn off the switch via a gate turn off when the gate turn off pulls the gate low.

A method of operating a circuit configured to provide a highly linearized resistance comprising:

• receiving a signal via a bootstrapped switch;
• coupling the received signal to a gate if the received signal is high;
• receiving a signal via a switch control input coupled to a high impedance element, wherein the high impedance element is in further coupled to the gate;
• turning off the switch via a gate turn off when the gate turn off pulls the gate low.
