A PARALLEL-TRANSISTOR CASCADED AMPLIFIER FOR CONTROLLING VERY LARGE CURRENTS
Abstract
A method for controlling large currents at low voltages by means of paralleled high-power switching transistors was developed. The output current from a 3.5-volt 1000ampere filtered Ge rectifier is made to flow through a lowimpedance load at any desired rate by means of a seriesregulator amplifier circuit consisting of three cascaded parallel-transistor amplifier stages. A relatively small control signal range is sufficient to sweep the output current from 0 to 1000 amperes. (W.D.M.)
