Abstract:
In an electronic firing circuit including a firing capacitor the charge on the firing capacitor is used as a control signal to isolate a firing thyristor from an erroneous triggering signal.
Abstract:
A complementary symmetry, metal oxide semiconductor device (COS/MOS) oscillator which includes a COS/MOS inverter and a regenerative feedback path from the output to the input terminal of the inverter. Power consumption is reduced, when current flow through the one device tends to increase, by applying regenerative feedback to an impedance in series with the other device to more quickly drive the other device to cut off, and vice versa. Degeneration across the impedances, when current flow therethrough tends to increase, also is employed to reduce power consumption.
