Abstract

A linear switch with high off-state isolation in provided for use in video waveform monitors and/or graphic encoders and mixers. The linear switch provides a proportional mix of two signal sources in response to a control voltage for fading and keying from one source to another in order to allow complete elimination of either source from the output (high isolation when a source is fully off) which can be achieved with minimal circuitry.
