To illustrate a basic diode switch, we’ve prepared a couple of simplified circuit diagrams. The first shows the anode tied to ground through R1 and the cathode tied to the Vcc power rail.

In DC voltage applications, the RC snubber network is typically wired across the relay contacts, whereas in standard AC ...

By using a load switch instead of a discrete MOSFET circuit, the solution size can be reduced to 4 mm 2 or smaller. This results in a 3.5X improvement in power density.
