Abstract

See full text

A drive circuit controls application of alternating current power to a load. The drive circuit includes an oscillator which applies a high frequency signal to a first input of a logic gate. A control signal is applied to a second input of the gate to enable the gate. A first capacitor is connected to the output of the logic gate. A rectifier connected to the first capacitor rectifies the signal from the first capacitor. A low-pass filter connected to the rectifier removes the high frequency components from the signal. A solid state switch has a switching input connected to the low-pass filter output, which switches the device into a conducting state. This circuit is particularly suited for use where many solid state switches share the same common terminal.
