Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9215085A1] A demultiplexer (25) comprises a plurality of transistors (33, 38) with conducting links between an input terminal (31) and output nodes (32). The control electrode of each transistor (33) is connected to a line of a most significant bit (MSB) bus (34) by a first capacitive device and also to a line of a least significant bit (LSB) bus (35) by a second capacitive device. When the capacitive devices associated with the same transistor receive an activation signal at the same time, the transistor (33) turns on and the current flows from the input terminal (31) to an output node (32). Each transistor in the demultiplexer (25) thus acts as a three-state gate.
