hi I want to use a transmission gate in my design as an analog switch. I'm studying this one: https://www.xschem-viewer.com/?file=https://github.com/RTimothyEdwards/sky130_ef_ip__rdac3v_8bit/blob/main/xschem/passtrans.sch any reason the nfet_g5v0d10v5 and pfet_g5v0d10v5 were used here even though the design uses 3.3V and 1.8V rails for AVDD and DVDD?

All the pass transistors are connected between 3.3V and ground, so they must be 3.3V tolerant.

I'm sorry. Is the transmission gate part of the preamplifier design?

@Emmanuel Innocent I am planning on using the transmission gate to switch resistors on/off and control the gain of the amplifier based on digital programming
something similar to this ... except i show a simple voltage divider here and not the amplifier

Okay. Thank you. I was curious to know since I have worked on a similar project when I needed to control the gain of an amplifier digitally.
