Abstract
Abstract A motor control device employing a low-power silicon-controlled rectifier in parallel with a power transistor. The siliconcontrolled rectifier initially conducts current from the power source to the load and then triggers the power transistor so that they together conduct the power to the load with the power transistor handling most of the current. The power transistor is turned on by the voltage across a resistor, on a capacitive or inductive reactance element in series with a silicon-controlled rectifier. In another embodiment a diode is used in series with the base of the power transistor and an external pulse is used to back bias the diode to turn off the circuit. In a further embodiment a low-power transistor is used in series with the silicon-controlled rectifier wherein the circuit is turned off by turning off the low-power transistor.
