ABSTRACT:
A current regulated circuit arrangement for controlling a power semiconductor transistor, as example a MOSFET or IGBT power transistor, that includes at least two mirror-symmetrically arranged regulated power sources and an output voltage regulator. A first regulated power source is fed from an unregulated power source and controls the gate of the power transistor such that the power transistor is switched into the conductive state. A second regulated power source is fed from an unregulated power source and controls the gate of the power transistor such that the power transistor is switched into the non-conductive state. A voltage regulator or limiter limits the current at the gate of the power transistor to a operably suitable maximum value.
