Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A stacked switching circuit with normally-on devices includes a first normally-on switch coupled between a first input rail and an output port, and is coupled to be switched in response to a first control signal. A second normally-on switch is coupled to the output port and is coupled to a normally-off switch in a cascode coupled configuration. A second terminal of the normally-off switch is coupled to a second input rail. The normally-off switch is coupled to be switched in response to a second control signal. Switching of the stacked switching circuit is coupled to provide chopped high frequency pulses through the output port. Current flow through the stacked switching circuit between the first input rail and the second input rail is blocked at startup.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A stacked switching circuit with normally-on devices including at least a triplet of switches for use with a power converter comprising: a first normally-on switch having a first terminal coupled to a first input rail at an input port of the switching circuit with normally-on devices, wherein a second terminal of the first normally-on switch is directly coupled to an output port of the switching circuit with normally-on devices, and wherein a control termina…
