ABSTRACT:
Control circuitry used with the combination of a control switch (typically a gated diode switch GDS) which is coupled to a control (gate) terminal of a like load switch which consists essentially of first and second p-n-p transistors. The collector of the first p-n-p transistor is coupled to an anode of the control switch. The emitter of the first p-n-p transistor is coupled to the base of the second p-n-p transistor and to a control circuitry input terminal. The collector of the second p-n-p transistor is coupled to a gate terminal of the control switch. The control circuitry limits undesirable current flow into the load switch and has fewer components than commonly used control circuitry which performs a like function.
