This Design Idea illustrates a way to make use of MOSFETs’ parasitic body diodes in a power circuit that can be used in UPS and energy-recovery (e.g., regenerative braking) designs. The circuit can ...

The mechanism of reverse recovery failure in the lateral integrated Bootstrap Diode (BST-Diode) is investigated through physical TCAD simulation in this paper. It is found that the crowding of ...

Hyperabrupt-junction varactor diodes, for which dopant concentration decreases with distance from the p-n junction, possess favorable characteristics in time-varying systems. These diodes can exhibit ...
