Abstract
The invention provides a cascode transistor circuit with a main power transistor and a cascode MOSFET formed as an integrated circuit, packaged to form the cascode transistor circuit. A control and protection circuit is integrated into the integrated circuit together and a storage capacitor provides an energy source to drive the control and protection circuit. A charging circuit is also integrated into the integrated circuit for charging the storage capacitor.
