Design and development of a 5 kV isolated solid state switchThis paper describes the design and fabrication of a 5000 volt isolated hybrid switch developed by Hughes Aircraft Company under contract to NASA/Lewis. Hughes did the packaging design and NASA did the circuit design. This unique microcircuit is intended for use as a shorting switch for large extraterrestrial solar cell arrays. The packaging design for the 5 kV isolated hybrid switch is different from most hybrid microcircuits in that it utilizes a compartmentalized plastic case (a portion of which is encapsulated), is not hermetic, and is designed for high voltage operation.
