SWITCH CONTROL CIRCUIT, MULTIPLEXER SWITCH CIRCUIT AND CONTROL METHOD FOR MULTIPLEXER SWITCH CONTROL CIRCUIT
A switch control circuit a multiplexer switch circuit and a control method for a multiplexer switch control circuit are provided. The switch control circuit comprises a first control switch, a first capacitor and a field-effect transistor switch. When the first control switch is switched off, a charging voltage released by the first capacitor can control the switching-on of the field-effect transistor switch. At this moment, since the first control switch is switched off, and a power source signal cannot reach a gate electrode of the field-effect transistor switch, power source noise cannot be coupled to a line where source and drain electrodes of the field-effect transistor switch are located. Thus, in a discharge stage of the first capacitor, a discharge voltage can serve as a control signal to control the switching-on of the field-effect transistor switch.
