Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention provides a cascode transistor circuit with a main power transistor and a cascode MOSFET formed as an integrated circuit, packaged to form the cascode transistor circuit. A control and protection circuit is integrated into the integrated circuit together and a storage capacitor provides an energy source to drive the control and protection circuit. A charging circuit is also integrated into the integrated circuit for charging the storage capacitor.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A cascode transistor circuit comprising: a gallium nitride or silicon carbide field effect transistor having its drain connected to a high power line a silicon MOSFET with its drain connected to the source of the gallium nitride or silicon carbide FET and its source connected to a low power line and formed as a part of an integrated circuit, wherein the gallium nitride or silicon carbide field effect transistor and the integrated circuit are package…
