ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to fully controlled three-terminal switching power circuits having an extremely high switching speed and very low forward voltage. The switching circuits can perform thyristor and triac functions. They can be also turned on and off by a gate voltage of one polarity independently of polarity of anode voltage, and include one or two power transistors, preferably n-Ch MOSFETs. A switching circuit provides a connection between an anode and cathode in response to an input signal applied to a gate, and includes a transistor having a collector and emitter coupled respectively to the anode and cathode, and a base, a flip-flop having a signal input, reset input and output coupled to the gate, anode and base respectively, and a power supply for providing a supply voltage to the flip-flop.
