    摘要: An isolated MOSFET gate drive includes circuitry to provide a negative gate bias during the off time of the MOSFET to enhance its immunity to inadvertent turn-on. The bias is generated by a self contained two terminal passive network which may be "floated" at any potential with respect to ground. This bias is automatically generated through the action of the network to the gate drive waveform, eliminating the need for an external bias supply to provide this voltage. The bias supply is located locally, thus eliminating the need for long interconnects which may interfere with circuit operation. The bias network in one implementation is a combination of a capacitor and non-linear semiconductor device with a fixed voltage breakdown characteristic. This two-component implementation maintains the capability of producing systems with high packaging densities.

    摘要: An isolation circuit for use in a power plant having a first power supply that powers a first load and a second power supply that powers a second load. The first and second power supplies are cross-couplable via a first and second auxiliary path to allow the first power supply to power the second load and the second power supply to power the first load. The first power supply is subject to a reverse current by way of the first auxiliary path. The isolation circuit includes a first switch, located in the first auxiliary path, that substantially reduces the reverse current flowing into the first power supply thereby enhancing an isolation of the first power supply. A controller is, also, provided that monitors the first switch thereby enhancing a reliability of the power plant.
