ELECTRICAL POWER SWITCHING CIRCUITS

Abstract:

An electrical power switching circuit comprising a plurality of field effect transistors (FETs) connected in a parallel configuration. Each FET in the plurality of FETs comprises a gate pin. The electrical power switching circuit comprises a plurality of control stages. Each control stage in the plurality of control stages is associated with a FET in the plurality of FETs. Each control stage in the plurality of control stages comprises a gate pin connection. The gate pin of each FET in the plurality of FETs is connected to the gate pin connection of a respective control stage. Power supplied to each control stage in the plurality of control stages is decoupled from power supplied to each other control stage in the plurality of control stages.
