ABSTRACT:
Switch with at least two series-connected MOS-FETs has a drain terminal of a preceding MOS-FET connected to a source terminal of a succeeding MOS-FET the MOS-FETs having respective control terminals connectible to a control voltage. The control terminal of the preceding MOS-FET is directly connected to a terminal of the control voltage source. The control terminal of the succeeding MOS-FET is connected to the control terminal of the respective preceding MOS-FET via a diode poled in forward direction with respect to the control voltage source. A resistor is connected between the control terminal and the source terminal of the succeeding MOS-FET.
