CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENT FOR BRIDGING HIGH VOLTAGES USING A SWITCHING SIGNAL

The circuit has a voltage source (2) with a pair of voltage terminals (7,8) for a relatively low voltage and a voltage receiver (1) with a further pair of voltage terminals (11,12) for a relatively high voltage, both provided by 2 inverter circuits connected between the voltage terminals. The output of the first inverter of the voltage source is coupled via a first HV capacitor (C1) with the input of the second inverter of the voltage receiver, the output of the second inverter of the voltage source coupled via a second HV capacitor (C2) with the input of the first inverter of the voltage receiver, the outputs of both inverters of the voltage receiver providing the voltage receiver output nodes.
