Abstract
The disclosure relates to improvements in bidirectional power switch circuits. Example embodiments include a bidirectional power switch, BPS, circuit () comprising: first and second terminals (); first and second MOSFETs () connected in series between the first and second terminals () and comprising respective first and second source to body diodes (Dsb, Dsb, Dsb); first and second power supply rails (VDD, VEE); first, second, third, fourth and fifth switchable current sources (IDD-, SD-, IEE-, SE-); first and second resistors (Rbs, Rgs); and a BPS switching controller () configured to control operation of the BPS circuit () between a BPS ON state in which the first and second terminals () are connected and a BPS OFF state in which the first and second terminals () are disconnected.
