ABSTRACT:
A solid state switching circuit is provided with a first power sharing circuit which incorporates resistive power dissipation elements so that the required dissipated power is shared between a main power transistor and the power sharing circuit. A second power sharing circuit is connected in parallel with a portion of the first power sharing circuit and operates to provide additional resistive power dissipation under certain switch voltage conditions. The use of this second power sharing circuit permits an increase in the required trip time of the main switching transistor or improves the reliability of the power transistors in the main circuit and the first power sharing circuit by lowering transistor stress during transient conditions.
