On-off switches are one of the most common control elements in electrical circuitry. This has evolved over the years, from the manually operated circuit breaker of the early experiments to the multi-switch integrated circuit of today. In every application, the function of the switch remains the same: to isolate or connect two sections of an electrical circuit. Therefore, an ideal switch should have zero resistance (short circuit) when on and infinite resistance (open circuit) when off. However, in practical applications, a bus switch should have as low resistance as possible when on, for bus connection, and as high resistance as possible when off, for bus isolation.
