Universal switch

A three terminal universal switch, comprising:

• a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal;
• and a plurality of interconnected switches, coupled to the terminals, wherein each switch is independently switchable;
• wherein the plurality of directly interconnected switches are configurable to implement:
• the first terminal connected only to the second terminal;
• the first terminal connected only to the third terminal;
• the second terminal connected only to the third terminal;
• the first terminal connected to the second terminal and the third terminal;
• or the first terminal, second terminal, and third terminal disconnected from each other.

A three terminal universal switch, comprising:

• a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal;
• and a plurality of directly interconnected switches, coupled to the terminals, wherein each switch is independently switchable;
• wherein the plurality of interconnected switches comprises a first switch and a second switch;
• wherein each switch comprises a first pin, a second pin, and a third pin;
• wherein each switch is independently switchable to implement the first pin connected to the second pin or the first pin connected to the third pin;
• wherein the first pin of the first switch is connected to the first terminal, the first pin of the second switch is connected to the second terminal, the second pin of the first switch is connected to the second pin of the second switch, and the third pin of the first switch is commonly connected to the third pin of the second switch and the third terminal;
