Abstract

See full text

An interface, such as an input/output expander (IOE), includes microelectromechanical (MEMS) switches that are operable to connect or disconnect respective signal lines on the interface. MEMS switches may be less susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damages, which eliminates a need for ESD protection circuits for each MEMS switch. The interface can have improved performance due to the eliminated need for the ESD protection circuits, which otherwise may have introduced jitter in signal propagation.
