Abstract
The drive circuit for controlling conductivity of a load switch (12) for controlling current flow through an electrical load (14) in accordance with the invention includes a DC source (20) having a positive terminal and a negative terminal; first and second voltage limiting devices (100) and (102) coupled together at a junction point (108) and an electrode of the first voltage limiting device being coupled to the positive terminal and an electrode of the second voltage limiting device being coupled to the negative terminal and a control circuit (24 and 28) causing current flow through only one of the voltage limiting devices with a reverse current breakdown which reverse biases the control electrode of the load switch causing the load switch to turn off.
