Nevertheless, there are certain limitations to consider. Diodes exhibit a forward voltage drop of about 0.6 to 0.7 volts (in the case of silicon diodes), causing a slight power loss in the circuit.

To effectively protect the interface circuit between separated power domains from electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, a new diode-triggered quad-silicon-controlled rectifier (DTQSCR) is proposed and ...

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 ...
