Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENT ADAPTED FOR CONNECTION BETWEEN A PAIR OF TERMINALS IN A CIRCUIT SUBJECT TO A WIDE RANGE OF TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS, SAID CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENT COMPRISING FIRST AND SECOND PARALLEL CONNECTED BRANCHES, SAID FIRST BRANCH COMPRISING A FIRST SEMICONDUCTOR RECTIFIER HAVING A RELATIVELY HIGH FORWARD AND HIGH REVERSE RESISTANCE AT A GIVEN LOW TEMPERATURE WITHIN SAID RANGE OF TEMPERATURES AND A RELATIVELY LOW FORWARD RESISTANCE AND HIGH REVERSE RESISTANCE AT A GIVEN HIGH TEMPERATURE WITHIN SAID RANGE OF TEMPERATURES, SAID SECOND BRANCH COMPRISING THE SERIES COMBINATION OF A SECOND SEMICONDUCTOR RECTIFIER AND A TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT RESISTANCE ELEMENT, SAID SECOND SEMICONDUCTOR RECTIFIER HAVING AT SAID GIVEN LOW TEMPERATURE A LOW FORWARD RESISTANCE AND A HIGH REVERSE RESISTANCE AND HAVING AT SAID GIVEN HIGH TEMPERATURE A LOW FORWARD RESISTANCE AND A LOW REVERSE RESISTANCE, AND SAID TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT RESISTANCE ELEMENT HAVING AT SAID GIVEN LOW TEMPERATURE A LOW RESISTANCE VALUE AND HAVING AT SAID GIVEN HIGH TEMPERATURE A RELATIVELY LARGER RESISTANCE VALUE.
