  • SATURATION CURRENT LIMITING CIRCUIT TOPOLOGY FOR POWER TRANSISTORS
    Publication number: 20140055192
    Abstract: A circuit topology for limiting saturation current in power transistors is disclosed. The circuit topology includes a normally-on transistor and a normally-off transistor coupled in series. A limiter circuit is coupled between a gate of the normally-on transistor and a source of the normally-off transistor for limiting the steady-state maximum gate-to-source voltage VGS of the normally-on transistor, which in turn limits the saturation current that flows through the normally-on transistor and the normally-off transistor.
