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 />
