TRIGGER CIRCUIT FOR SOLID STATE SWITCH ABSTRACT: The power dissipated, in a trigger circuit for gating on a semiconductor switch, is minimized by employing a constant current source (38,39,45) to provide the gate trigger current. This assures adequate triggering regardless of supply voltage variations or switch intrinsic control voltage requirements. Power is saved by supplying only the current required to drive the semiconductor switch on, thereby preventing over- drive. With constant d-c gate current, the precise amount of power needed to turn on and close the switch is provided while wasting relatively little energy due to gate intrinsic voltage variations of the switch or to input line voltage variations.
