Abstract
Stacked gating circuitry is provided for controlling a plurality of pairs of power FETs stacked in series, each pair being bidirectionally source to source connected for AC conduction. All the power FETs turn on from a single gate terminal through series connected current sources, one current source for each FET pair. The FETs turn on in ripple effect.
