Abstract
In a motor control system of the type having a plurality of transistors connected in series between a power supply and ground, a protection circuit is utilized to prevent the transistors from turning on simultaneously. The protection circuit introduces time delay into the turn on signals applied to the bases of the serially connected transistors, thereby preventing simultaneous operation and preventing excessive currents from damaging the transistors.
