    摘要: A drive circuit for driving a switching element is provided which includes a high-side switching circuit connected between power supply lines, a low-side switching circuit connected in series with the high-side switching circuit through an output terminal leading to the switching element, and a voltage detector detecting a voltage appearing at the output terminal. When the voltage detected by the voltage detector is lower than a given off-decision voltage, that is, when the switching element is placed in the off-state, the low-side switching circuit is brought into the off-state, thereby reducing the current consumption thereof.

    摘要: An improved emitter coupled logic circuit suitable for high speed logic operation independent of capacitive load. With previous circuits as the load to be driven become heavier, the capacitive load required a longer time for discharge and the output signal was dulled, resulting in adverse effect on the logic operation when the output changed to a low level from a high level. A pulse has also been previously applied to a pull-down transistor connected between the output and a power source through a capacitor from an inverted phase output to actively discharge the capacitive load. However, when the capacitor is connected to the output it hinders the switching speed of a current switch. In the present invention, a transistor is provided an input circuit and a pulse is applied to a pull-down transistor from the transistor. As a result, an extra capacitive element is not connected to the output end, but a pulse is applied to the pull-down transistor. Accordingly, even if the capacitive load becomes heavier, the speed of the circuit is not harmed.

    摘要: An electronic transformer system for powering gaseous discharge lamps includes an output transformer having a load connected to a secondary winding and having a power storage capacitor connected in series with a primary winding, a charging transistor connecting one end of the series combination to one polarity terminal of a voltage doubler DC power source, the other end of the series combination connected to the other polarity terminal of the power source, a discharging transistor connected across the series connected primary and capacitor, and an oscillator connected through a coupling transformer to the bases of the transistors. The oscillators alternately causes the transistors to switch into conduction to thereby alternately cause the charging and discharging of the capacitor through the output transformer. The charging and discharging characteristics of the capacitor result in the turn off of the transistors occurring at low current levels whereby turn off of the transistors is accelerated.

    摘要: The present invention combines in either a logical AND function of N logical input signals, where N is a selected positive integer greater than or equal to 1, and provides programmably, either a direct AND output signal or a NAND output signal. The invention accomplishes this using a minimum number of components in the data path, between the logical input leads and logical output leads. A minimum of components in the data path reduces the propagation delay introduced by the circuit. The invention accomplishes this by providing two AND gates connected to the same set of N logical input signals. The output signal of one AND gate is inverted by an inverter with an enable/disable input lead. The output signal of the other AND gate is inverted twice by two inverters. The second inverter has an enable/disable input lead. Means are provided for exclusively enabling one or the other of the two inverters with an enable/disable input lead. Thus, either the once inverted signal is provided to the output lead or the twice inverted signal is provided to the output lead.

    摘要: A current driver circuit using a two-level current source for switching PIN diodes. The driver is responsive to a binary signal control voltage for providing a respective forward-bias current or reverse-bias voltage. The two-level current source, responsive to output voltage, is included in the driver circuit to supply one of two current levels when the driver is conditioned to forward-bias the diode. When the output voltage is below a predetermined threshold value, a first level of current is supplied; when the output voltage is above the predetermined value, a second level of current, generally larger than the first current, is provided. The disclosed technique reduces peak instantaneous power dissipation in the driver by avoiding the simultaneous condition of high voltage and high current.

    摘要: A TOP level switch for use in a drive circuit in power-electronic systems having a half-bridge circuit formed by two power switches, a first so-called TOP switch and a second so-called BOT switch, which are arranged connected in series. The TOP level shifter transmits an input signal from drive logic to a TOP driver. In this case, the TOP level shifter is designed as an arrangement of an UP and a DOWN level shifter path, as well as a downstream signal evaluation circuit. In the associated method for transmission of this input signal, the signal evaluation circuit passes an output signal to the TOP driver when either the UP or the DOWN, or both, level shifter paths emit a signal to the respectively associated input of the signal evaluation circuit.
