Abstract

The present invention provides a power drive circuit which is transformer isolated from the circuit developing the drive signals, but which does not lose its DC reference voltage. This technique results in the desired isolation without the undesirable possibility of operating the output transistors in an unsafe DC region, which is a particular problem when the output transistors are FET devices. In accordance with the present invention, pulse transformers are used to drive the power FET devices.
