Batterie-Verpolungsschutzschaltung für einen Leistungsschalter

摘要

A circuit for protecting a power switch in the event of a reverse battery connection, wherein the power switch comprises a MOSFET having a body diode and the MOSFET is connected in series with a load, the circuit comprising terminals connected to the circuit and normally connectable to respective positive and negative power potentials of the battery, and the circuit comprising a switching circuit coupled to the terminals such that the switching circuit turns on the power switch in the event that the terminals are connected with a reverse battery connection.
