Circuit for controlling pulse output stage e.g. for pulse diode laser

摘要

The invention relates to a circuit configuration for driving a pulse output stage which comprises a MOSFET power stage and a drive circuit (5) which is connected to the drain of the MOSFET (1) as the sole power supply. The parameters of the circuit configuration are designed in such a manner that the voltage drop on the drain of the MOSFET (1) does not exceed the admissible maximum voltage at the gate of the MOSFET (1). The supplied current flowing from the drain of the MOSFET to the drive circuit preferably contributes to the load current.
