Abstract: A remote assembly is provided. The remote assembly includes multiple line powered remote units, an input power sharing circuit adapted to receive power from each of the multiple line powered remote units and provide a variable output voltage to power auxiliary equipment and a control circuit coupled to the input power sharing circuit, wherein the control circuit is adapted to control the variable output voltage.

Abstract: An input power sharing control circuit is provided. The control circuit includes a plurality of current limiting circuits each circuit adapted to receive power from one of a plurality of independent power sources, a power switching control circuit adapted to receive power from the plurality of independent power sources and provide a variable power output and a load coupled to the output of the power switching control circuit, wherein the value of the load impedance and the value of the voltage of the output power controls the variable power output.

Abstract: A junction field effect transistor (JFET), acting as a switch, is coupled between the source and gate of a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET). A capacitor is connected in parallel with the MOSFET's “Miller capacitance” by being coupled between the gate and drain of the MOSFET in series with a current limiting resistor. When the JFET is on, it has a low impedance with zero gate voltage and forces the gate to source voltage of the MOSFET to remain near zero and, thus, the MOSFET in a high impedance state, until the capacitor charges to the supply voltage.
