A STUDY OF A COMPLEMENTARY SYMMETRICAL POWER SWITCHING CIRCUIT
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4308938
An analysis of a symmetrical, complementary, powerswitching circuit employing complementary power transistors is given. A d-c analysis is made for the bistable states. Also described is a voltage regulation and bias circuit which improves stability and contributes to the protection of the transistors. The problem of switching transients was investigated, and empirical results are presented to support theoretical considerations. A new triggering method is proposed to utilize the bilateral characteristic of a transistor. Applications of the circuit are suggested for controlledfrequency and self-triggering modes of operation. A method and analysis for seif triggering is presented. The advantages of this power switching circuit over other methods of low-frequency moderate power generation are enumerated. (auth)
