High Voltage Solid State Multiplexer.
Abstract
This report describes high voltage multiplexer comprising as the switching elements for each channel thereof a pair of series connected double diffused metal oxide semiconductor transistors connected source-to-source to obtain very high 'off' resistance, with optical links comprising LEDs to switch the pairs of transistors 'on' and 'off'. A logic chip controls the switching of the transistors in accordance with externally applied signals. Means are provided for rapidly discharging any voltage remaining on the gate-to-source capacity of the series-connected transistors upon the switching 'off' of any channel.
