A drive current circuit for a switching power transistor which allows the controlled turn off of the transistor without affecting transistor turn on. The drive transformer has two cores one of which follows a linear magnetization characteristic and the other of which has a relatively high permeability. The input and output windings of the drive transformer are wound on both cores. A turn off winding is also included which is wound only on the high permeability core. A source of turn off charge is directly coupled to the transistor. Shorting of the turn off winding initiates the controlled turn off of the transistor.
