    摘要: Laboratory equipment with flammable refrigerant and connected to at least two different electrical potentials for supplying the equipment with electrical energy. An electrical switch arrangement has first and second switches for electrical separation from, respectively, the first and second potentials. A sequence controller switches on the first switch and thereafter the second switch. A monitoring device is connected via a first contact on the equipment side to the first switch and via a second contact on the mains side to an electrical potential other than the first electrical potential for detecting a switched-on state of the first switch and signaling the detection to the sequence controller. When the monitoring device signals a switched-on state, the sequence controller blocks operation of the equipment as a function of the signaled switched-on state and whether the first switch is expected to be switched on or switched off.

    摘要: A circuit and method for controlling charge injection in a circuit are disclosed. In one embodiment, the circuit and method are employed in a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) Radio Frequency (RF) switch. In one embodiment, an SOI RF switch comprises a plurality of switching transistors coupled in series, referred to as “stacked” transistors, and implemented as a monolithic integrated circuit on an SOI substrate. Charge injection control elements are coupled to receive injected charge from resistively-isolated nodes located between the switching transistors, and to convey the injected charge to at least one node that is not resistively-isolated. In one embodiment, the charge injection control elements comprise resistors. In another embodiment, the charge injection control elements comprise transistors. A method for controlling charge injection in a switch circuit is disclosed whereby injected charge is generated at resistively-isolated nodes between series coupled switching transistors, and the injected charge is conveyed to at least one node of the switch circuit that is not resistively-isolated.

    摘要: A gate drive circuit includes a first switch and a first capacitor. A first terminal of the first capacitor is electrically coupled to the first switch. The first switch is electrically coupled between the first terminal and a voltage supply of the power transistor. A second terminal of the first capacitor is electrically coupled to the reference potential. The gate drive circuit further includes a first voltage limiter in parallel with the first capacitor. The first voltage limiter limits a voltage across the first capacitor to a first predetermined voltage. The gate drive circuit further includes a second capacitor, a pre-charging circuit arranged between the first terminal of the first capacitor and a first terminal of the second capacitor. The gate drive circuit further includes a third capacitor with a first terminal electrically coupled to a second terminal of the second capacitor and a second terminal electrically coupled to a gate terminal of the power transistor.

    摘要: In a drive unit for a switching element, a drive circuit changes the switching element between an on-state and an off-state, by controlling a potential difference between a reference terminal, which is one of a pair of ends of a current path of the switching element, and an opening-closing control terminal of the switching element. A determination section determines, if an on-operation command or an off-operation command is inputted as an operation signal for the switching element, whether or not the potential difference has reached a specific value toward which the potential difference shifts, in response to one of the operation commands, with respect to a threshold value by which the switching element is turned on. A forcible processing section removes charge for turning on the switching element from the opening-closing control terminal, if the determination section determines that the potential difference has not reached the specific value.
