  • Circuit to compensate for semiconductor switching speed variations
    Patent number: 4308466
    Abstract: Disclosed is a circuit to compensate for switching speed variations of semiconductors arranged to apply fixed current pulses to a passive load. The circuit monitors changes in the voltage transients created at each current reversal and adjusts the turn-on time of the semiconductor devices to compensate for instability in the turn-off speed of the semiconductors.
