PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC DEVICES COMPRISING JUNCTION FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTORS, AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME

摘要

A switching circuit (100) comprises a plurality of first signal (106-0) lines of a programmable logic device, a plurality of second signal lines (106-1) of the programmable logic device, and a plurality of switch elements (104-0, 104-1)-. Each switch element couples one first signal line to a second signal line and includes one or more switch junction field effect transistors (JFETs (108, 110) having a first control gate (108-0, 110-0) separated from a second control gate (108-3, 110-3) by a channel region.
