Title:
THREE TERMINAL NONINVERTING TRANSISTOR SWITCH BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002058218
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A noninverting transistor switch having only a first terminal (113), a second terminal (115) and third terminal (117) includes a transistor (125) connected to the second and third terminals, the transistor having an on switching state in which current is able to pass between the second and third terminals and an off switching state in which current is interrupted from passing between the second and third terminals. The transistor switch also includes a voltage stabilizer (123) connected to the second and third terminals. The transistor switch further includes a CMOS inverter (119, 121) connected to the first terminal, the second terminal, the transistor and the voltage stabilizer. In use, the CMOS inverter interrupts the passing of current between the voltage stabilizer and the second terminal when the transistor is in its off switching state.
