A multi-state switch network is provided that includes a serially connected diode pair configured to receive a single control signal at a control node. The serially-connected diode pair is configured to control a pair of switches. Moreover, the single control signal is operative to drive the serially connected diode pair to a first state, a second state, or a third state based at least in part on a state of the single control signal. Furthermore, the single control signal is operative to alternatively turn ON a first diode of the diode pair and turn OFF a second diode of the diode pair when the state of the single control signal is a first state, turn OFF the first diode and turn ON the second diode when the state of the single control signal is a second state, and turn OFF the first diode and turn OFF the second diode when the state of the single control signal is a third state.
