Abstract
The command input of a high frequency switch is gated with the output of a power dissipation limiter. The limiter includes a counter that counts pulses of the command input. Between regularly occurring reset pulses, if a pulse count is obtained that indicates a burst period above a normal threshold level, the limiter generates a fault signal that inhibits further operation of the high frequency switch until the next regularly occurring reset pulse.
