发明名称 A protection circuit for a cascode switch, and a method of protecting a cascode switch
摘要 A circuit arrangement is disclosed comprising: a normally-on transistor (such as a HEMT) having first and second transistor main terminals and a non-insulated control terminal, the non-insulated control terminal being electrically coupled to a ground; a normally-off switch having first and second switch main terminals and a switch control terminal, the normally-off switch being arranged in a cascode configuration with the normally-on transistor, the first switch main terminal being electrically coupled to the second transistor main terminal, the switch control terminal being electrically coupled to the second switch main terminal and to the ground; and a control circuit configured to switch on the normally-off switch in response to the voltage at the first switch main terminal being negative relative to the ground. A method of controlling such a circuit is also disclosed.
