Tamdem crossbar switch with ultra low crosstalk

摘要

Switching apparatus and method in an array having plural inputs and plural outputs crossing each other at a plurality of crosspoints. First and second tandem switches are disposed at each crosspoint, between a respective input and a respective output. A shunt capacitor is coupled to each first and second switch and to ground, to short crosstalk in the inputs and outputs. A method of making a semiconductor switch array is also provided.
