  • Isolated high speed switch
    Patent number: 9559680
    Abstract: A circuit structured to drive an isolated high speed voltage metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) switch, including a first MOSFET and a second MOSFET configured to operate as a switch, a capacitor, a charging component in parallel with the capacitor, a first switch in series with the charging component, and a second switch in parallel with the charging component and the capacitor. The stored voltage in the capacitor is sent to the gates of the first MOSFET and the second MOSFET when a second switch is open and a first switch is closed.
    Type: Grant
