A novel approach for controlling series strings of voltage driven devices (e.g. JFET, MOSFET, IGBT) is presented that allows high voltage switches to be constructed from lower voltage devices. The approach allows controlled voltage sharing under stea... Read More about Active control of series connected, voltage driven power devices using a single gate drive.
