High voltage isolated relay driver

Abstract

A method (10) and apparatus (20, 40, 50) for driving a high voltage relay wherein a command pulse (24) is divided into a series of pulses (25) before being processed by a transformer (26). The method and apparatus of the present invention allow a significantly smaller transformer to be used in the relay driver thereby effecting significant size and weight reductions on-board a satellite system.
