Solid state switch relay
Abstract:
A solid state relay and a method for controlling a signal path between an AC-signal output and a load in a power amplifier assembly are disclosed. The relay comprises a first and a second MOSFET having a common gate junction, a common source junction and wherein and wherein a drain terminal of a first MOSFET and a drain terminal of a second MOSFET form relay terminals. The solid state relay further comprises a control circuit comprising a positive side comprising a first controlled current generator configured to provide a first control current to the gate junction, and a negative side comprising a current mirror circuit configured to sink a second current from the source junction. Hereby, a generic solid state speaker relay has been disclosed. The relay performs up to the most stringent demands regarding pop/click on high quality products. It can be used to ground wire break, hot wire break and BTL (Bridge Tied Load) break. The design is rather tolerable to different MOSFETs and very competitive in quality and price.
