Solid state control circuit for a dual battery power supply

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5659706
This paper describes apparatus for controlling the connection of a pair of power supply voltages of mutually opposite clarity to a load. It comprises: a first and a second complementary type semiconductor switch device respectively coupled between the par of power supply voltages and the load; a bistable circuit having two stable operating states, first and second inputs and first and second outputs; first circuit means respectively coupling the first and second outputs to the first and second semiconductor switch devices for rendering the switch devices conductive during one o aid two stable operating states; and second circuit means including first switch means coupled to the first input and second switch means coupled to aid second input for selectively switching the bistable circuit between the two stable operating states.
