Abstract
A bidirectional bipolar transistor switch arrangement, including: a first bipolar transistor and a second bipolar transistor connected in anti-parallel between a first terminal and a second terminal, a resistor connected to the base of the first bipolar transistor and the second bipolar transistor and to a control terminal, a first diode connected with anode to the first terminal, and a second diode connected with anode to the second terminal, the first diode and the second diode being connected via respective cathodes to a supply terminal. The bidirectional bipolar transistor switch arrangement is able to control the power supply within a daisy chain with low drop voltage.
