Abstract

A high voltage switching circuit includes a low voltage driving circuit having first and second capacitors; and an isolated high voltage driving circuit. The isolated high voltage driving circuit has an isolated charge pump circuit and a transistor driving circuit. The first and second electrical nodes of the isolated charge pump circuit are electrically coupled to the transistor driving circuit, which is coupled to a resistive load. The transistor driving circuit increases an output voltage of the resistive load to a desired output voltage level over a time interval in response to first and second voltage signals being applied to the first and second electrical nodes, respectively, when the first and second capacitors are receiving first and second pulse width modulated voltage signals, respectively, over the time interval.
