| Summary: | This invention relates to a voltage protection and biasing circuit and more particularly, to a circuit which allows voltage to be provided to a terminal of a transistor, effective to operatively bias the transistor while concomitantly protecting the transistor from damage which is caused by transient voltage surges or "spikes".
A biasing and transient protection circuit which is used in combination with a field effect transistor which selectively communicates a voltage signal which emanates from a battery to a component or load The circuit selectively generates a substantially constant electrical voltage to bias the gate terminal of the field effect transistor effective to allow the field effect transistor to allow the component or load to operatively receive the battery voltage signal while concomitantly protecting the field effect transistor from transient voltage damage. |
