ABSTRACT:
A noninverting transistor switch having only three terminals includes in one embodiment first, second and third terminals, a depletion mode field effect transistor (FET) having drain and source electrodes that define a current path in the transistor and are connected to the third and second terminals respectively and a gate electrode for controlling the current flow in the transistor current path. A negative voltage converter having an input electrode, an output electrode and a return electrode has its output electrode coupled to the gate electrode in the FET its return electrode being coupled to the source electrode and its input electrode coupled to the first terminal. In operation, the current flow between the drain and source electrodes will be high when a low signal is applied to the input electrode with respect to the source electrode and will be lower when a higher signal is applied to the input electrode with respect to the source electrode.
