  • BIDIRECTIONAL SWITCH CIRCUIT AND POWER CONVERTER INCLUDING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20110026285
    Abstract: 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.
