A switch circuit is provided for conditional communication within a magnetic-induction interface, including first and second control nodes, a data input and output nodes, a parallel circuit, and first and second control nodes. The parallel circuit includes a pair of legs, each leg connecting to the data input and data output nodes. Each leg has a connector to a condition. Each control node is connected to the corresponding connector. The condition is one of the interface is connected and the interface is disconnected. The parallel circuit enables communication between the data input and output nodes only in response to the condition being that the interface is disconnected. The pair of leg includes first and second legs. The first leg includes a first MOSFET and a first diode. The first MOSFET has a first source, a first gate and a first drain. The second leg includes a second MOSFET and a second diode. The second MOSFET has a second source, a second gate and a second drain. The first and second diodes are connected to the data input node. The first and second sources are connected to the first and second diodes, respectively. The first and second gates are connected to the first and second control nodes, respectively. The first and second drains are connected to the data output node.
