VCE(sat) Bipolar transistors are an<br />
excellent choice for this function<br />
(otherwise known as high side drivers,<br />
circuit block switches etc) as they allow<br />
a much more compact and cost effective<br />
design than competing MOS options.<br />
The generic form of the circuit shown in<br />
Figure 9, shows an FMMT717 SuperSOT<br />
(optimised SOT23) Bipolar transistor<br />
operating as a high side 600mA switch<br />
-as used for a mobile telephone transmit<br />
switch for example. Figure 10 shows the<br />
conditions experienced by the device at<br />
initial switch-on as the 100μF capacitor<br />
charges.<br />
