摘要:
A bidirectional switch circuit includes two switching elements connected to conduct a current in both directions. The two switching elements are connected in series to each other. Of the two switching elements, the switching element to which a reverse voltage is applied, a voltage of a source of one of the switching elements being higher than a voltage of a drain of the one, is configured to conduct a current from the source to the drain even when an on-drive signal is not being input to a gate terminal of the one.

An "H" type amplifier circuit uses at least two current mirrors for alternately feeding current into the load in one direction and the other direction. In order to accelerate the turn-on of the current mirrors, a capacitance is associated with each of the two current mirrors. Each capacitance is alternately coupled in parallel with the input of its associated current mirror when this current mirror delivers current, and is coupled to the supply voltage terminals when this current mirror delivers no current. The operation is effected by means of a set of switches.

A bridge circuit, intended for use as a PWM driver of an inductive load, includes at least one source driver transistor connected in series totem-pole fashion with a sink driver transistor. A base resistor is connected from base to emitter of one of the driver transistors. This totem pole circuit is connected across a pair of DC supply conductors. A protective fly-back diode is connected across the one driver transistor. An auxiliary resistor is connected from the base of the auxiliary transistor to the emitter of the one driver transistor. When a fly-back diode across the one driver transistor conducts, the one driver transistor tends to conduct in the reverse direction and to store charge that in a subsequent period leads to shoot-through currents through the source and sink drivers. The auxiliary transistor turns on only when the fly-back diode conducts and shunts the base-collector of the source transistor, preventing its turning on and storing charge, and thus preventing potentially damaging shoot-through current through the driver transistors. The added auxiliary components do not cause additional power being drawn from the supply source, and therefore do not cause additional heating in the integrated circuit in which the bridge circuit may be formed. A pair of such half wave totem pole circuits may be paralleled to form a full wave bridge.
