Original Abstract Submitted
A multiplex circuit for computer systems includes multiple bootstrap switches that share a common capacitor for generating a boost voltage. When one of the bootstrap switches is activated, it is coupled to the common capacitor which is used to generate the boost voltage to control a switch transistor in the activated bootstrap circuit. Upon deactivating an active bootstrap switch, the common capacitor is pre-charged prior to the activation of another bootstrap switch.
