Floating Solid-State Switch Aids Power-Supply Testing

摘要

Two MOSFETs in a floating antiseries configuration can serve as a dual-polarity power switch ideal for testing transient response. A common problem in testing power circuits in general and power-supply ICs in particular is the need for switches capable of withstanding the large- current and voltage impulses generated during switching transients. Such switches must be capable of connecting to a variety of circuit topologies.
