Abstract
The present description concerns a switch circuit comprising at least one first bipolar transistor configured to be coupled to at least one electrical component to be switched, the bipolar transistor having a first conduction electrode coupled to a reference electrical potential via at least one resistor or inductor, or a second transistor.
Claims19
A switch circuit comprising:
- at least one first bipolar transistor configured to be coupled to at least one electrical component to be switched, the bipolar transistor comprising a first emitter/collector electrode coupled to a reference electrical potential via at least one resistor or inductor, or a second transistor.
A switch comprising:
- a first switch circuit comprising at least one first bipolar transistor configured to be coupled to at least one electrical component to be switched, the bipolar transistor comprising a first emitter/collector electrode coupled to a reference electrical potential via at least one resistor, inductor, or a second transistor;
- and
- a first electrical component to be switched, coupled to the second emitter/collector electrode of the at least one bipolar transistor of the first switch circuit, the first electrical component to be switched corresponding to a first inductor in series with a second inductor.
A method of switching at least one electrical component, comprising:
- providing a switch circuit comprising at least one first bipolar transistor configured to be coupled to the at least one electrical component to be switched, the bipolar transistor comprising a first emitter/collector electrode coupled to a reference electrical potential via at least one resistor, inductor, or a second transistor;
- and
- switching the at least one bipolar transistor of the switch circuit.
