Abstract
A circuit for controlling the firing of an exploding-foil pyrotechnic component including at least one capacitor and switch means, the capacitor being connected to the pyrotechnic component by an array of at least three diodes connected in series and in a direction that prevents the capacitor from discharging, the sum of the reverse voltages of these diodes being greater than the maximum voltage that can be delivered by the capacitor, the switch means including at least two field-effect transistors associated with the array of diodes.
