ABSTRACT:
A first FET is connected between first and third nodes, a second FET is connected between second and fourth nodes, a third FET is connected between third and fifth nodes and a fourth FET is connected between fourth and fifth nodes. A fifth FET is connected between first and sixth nodes and a sixth FET is connected between second and sixth nodes. The gates of the first, fourth and sixth FETs are connected to a first control terminal and the gates of the second, third and fifth FETs are connected to a second control terminal. A power-supply terminal is connected to the fifth and sixth nodes. The first and second nodes are connected to a common terminal through first and second capacitors, respectively. The fifth and sixth FETs form a pull-up switching circuit. The pull-up switching circuit pulls up the source of an FET in an OFF state to the power-supply voltage and isolates the source of an FET in an ON state from the power-supply voltage.
