Commanding 2 Transistors with one one command circuit

Click For Summary
To control two transistors, T1 and T2, such that when one is ON the other is OFF, an inverting op-amp can be used to invert the control signal for T2. Alternatively, employing an asynchronous J-K flip flop between the comparator and the transistors can prevent propagation delays, ensuring that T1 and T2 switch states simultaneously. This setup allows for effective command of both transistors with a single control signal. The choice between these methods depends on the specific requirements of the circuit design. Implementing these solutions can enhance the efficiency of transistor control in electronic applications.

Hi to all,

I know how to command a transistor, using a comparator with a sinusoidal and a triangular signal as inputs.

But let say I have two transistors, T1 and T2. Using the same command, I want that when T1 is ON, so T2 is OFF. vice versa. How can I achieve this?

Thanks!

One possible solution is to use T1 to invert the control signal into T2.
 
You could use an inverting op-amp to invert the control signal between the comparator and T2. If you are using a comparator as the input though, you may want to use an asycronous J-K flip flop between the comparator and the two transistors as this will not cause a propagation delay in the output of T2, thus causing the outputs of T1 and T2 change at nearly the same time.

I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
