ABSTRACT:
A drive circuit for a field-effect transistor is disclosed, the field-effect transistor having a drain terminal connected to the positive pole of a voltage supply and a source terminal connected to a load. The drive circuit comprises a first transistor connected between the gate terminal of the field-effect transistor and the negative pole of the voltage supply for turning off the field-effect transistor. The first transistor is driven by an operational amplifier which has inverting and non-inverting teminals connected to the gate and source terminals of the field-effect transistor, respectively. Switches alternatively intercouple the field-effect transistor to either another voltage supply or the first transistor.
