Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify a circuit configuration and to prevent an unwanted output from being generated when stopping switching operation by providing a means for grounding the side of input when turning on the switching operation. SOLUTION: The switching operation is performed by inputting ±driving pulses to input terminals 1 and 1a, and amplified output pulses are outputted from output terminals 2 and 2a. Then, when stopping the switching operation, an operating voltage at an H level is inputted to the gate of a transistor TR 3 simultaneously with the OFF of input driving pulses, the TR 3 is turned on, and a (+) voltage residual at a transformer T1 is grounded. Therefore, excess pulses are prevented from being outputted from the output terminals 2 and 2a after the end of switching operation by making the excess voltage residual at the drive transformer T1 when the switching operation is stopped.

When the switching operation is stopped by turning off the driving pulse as described above,
The switching operation is stopped at an arbitrary timing regardless of the polarity of the drive pulse (+,-). However, as shown in the left diagram of FIG. 4, when the polarity of the drive pulse is (-), When the switching operation is stopped, the energy stored in the transformer T1 after the stop of the switching operation is released as a (+) polarity voltage to the secondary side due to the transient phenomenon. The released voltage generates a voltage having a (+) polarity on the side with the black dot on the primary winding N1 as well as the secondary windings N2 and N3, and this voltage turns on the transistor TR1. , A voltage is generated at the output terminals 2 and 2a.

Since the time when the transistor TR1 is turned on is random, for example, when the transistor TR1 is used as a power amplifier of a radio transmitter, a frequency having no relation to the frequency to be amplified immediately after the switching operation is stopped is output. Will be lost. In the wireless transmitter, a band-pass filter is connected downstream of the power amplifier. However, since a frequency close to the transmission signal is passed, an unnecessary spurious is emitted every time the switching operation is stopped. As shown in the right diagram of FIG. 4, when the switching operation is stopped when the polarity of the driving pulse is (+),
Since the transistor TR2 is turned on, the output becomes 0 and unnecessary waves are not emitted.
