Abstract
A turn-off circuit is disclosed that includes a turn-off device (14) having a first current path connected to a first node, a second current path connected to a second node and an input. A control circuit (16) has an output connected to the input of the turn-off device (14) and has an input. A hold-off device (18) has an output connected to the first node and an input. Together, the turn-off device (14), the control circuit (16) and the hold-off device (18) comprise a turn-off circuit (20). A control signal CONTROL 2 is connected to the input of the control circuit (16), and a control signal CONTROL 3 is connected to the input of the hold-off device (18).
