Abstract
Apparatuses including multiple selectable circuit elements are described. In an example, an apparatus may include a power supply configured to output a voltage. The apparatus may further include a controller connected to the power supply and a transmission unit connected to the controller. The transmission unit may be configured to output power. The transmission unit may include comprising an inverter connected to the power supply. The inverter may include a high-side switching element. The transmission unit may further include a circuit element a circuit connected to the power supply. The circuit may be configured to select the circuit element. The circuit may include a switch connected between the inverter and the circuit element. The switch and the high-side switching element may be configured to be driven by the voltage outputted by power supply. The controller may be configured to control the power being outputted by the transmission unit.
