Abstract
A discharge switch device is provided that includes a comparator portion, a temperature compensation diode, and a trigger portion. The comparator portion is configured to compare an input voltage value to a reference voltage value. The temperature compensation diode is configured to reduce variation of the reference voltage value. The trigger portion is configured to discharge stored energy when the input voltage value exceeds the reference voltage value.
