Abstract:
A novel approach for the control of AC power uses power MOSFETs in a bidirectional switch subcircuit configuration having an optically coupled, electrically floating control circuit that self-biases the switches into the “on” state and uses an optically coupled control element to force the switches into the “off state. The time constant of the control circuit is fast enough to allow phase control as well as on-off control. A plurality of subcircuits can be easily cascaded to provide improved performance.

Claim (Index 1):
A bidirectional electronic switch circuit having an input terminal and an output terminal and further comprising:\n a. first and second series connected electronic switch devices, each switch device having a drain terminal, a source terminal and a gate terminal and being characterized by a threshold voltage specified between the gate terminal and the source terminal, wherein the drain terminal of the first switch device comprises the input terminal of the switch circuit and drain terminal of the second switch devices comprise the output terminal of the switch circuit, the source terminals of the first and second switch devices are interconnected at a first control terminal and the gate terminals of the first and second switch devices are interconnected at a second control terminal, and; b. a voltage source having a voltage that exceeds the switch device threshold voltage and applied across the first and second switch device control terminals through a current limiting resistor; and c. a switch connected across the first and second device control terminals.
