ABSTRACT:
A cyclical ON-OFF control signal is generated with a predetermined duty cycle to energize a load through a semi-conductor switch; a trouble signal is generated, for example by sensing voltage across the load, across the switch, temperature or the like, and, when the trouble signal exceeds a certain threshold (as determined, for example, by comparing the trouble signal with a reference in a differentially connected operational amplifier), the ON-signal to gate the switch ON is interrupted; and an OFF cycle of the cyclical generating means is started; if the trouble signal disappears, the normal cyclical repetition rate continues. A minimum interruption time is, however, provided determined by the OFF period of the cyclical generator and/or circuit components.
