How should I understand the intrinsic body diode inside a MOSFET?
Aug 5, 2018 · The intrinsic body diode is the p-n junction between the body and the drain. In a discrete (standalone) MOSFET, the source and body are usually tied together for convenience …
Understanding an 'ideal' diode made from a p-channel MOSFET …
Mar 21, 2016 · I did some searching before posting this question and found information on using a MOSFET as a low voltage drop diode, but they all had the gate wired directly to ground …
Do MOSFETs without a body diode exist?
Jan 11, 2019 · In most cases, but not all, body and source are internally connected together, so the source-body diode is shorted out and the drain-body diode becomes effectively a drain …
Do MOSFETs have a diode built into them?
Mar 17, 2015 · The body diode is usually fairly slow to turn on. I advise against using it as a the only flyback diode. Add an external Schottky diode for flyback protection. (There are power …
mosfet - freewheeling diode needed? - Electrical Engineering …
The "body diode" of a MOSFET is the P-N junction between the drain terminal and the substrate. It passes current whenever the source is more positive than the drain (in an N-channel …
Is body diode the current path when a mosfet is open?
Jan 25, 2024 · Ya, the body diode is still presented. You can check it with multimeter (diode mode) without connecting mosfet to circuit. Gate has to be discharged/shorted with source …
Does body diode reduce MOSFET switching loss in a power …
Aug 27, 2022 · In power converters, it is common that MOSFETs are fed a PWM signal to have cyclic switching. Part of the power is lost in the process. Does the body diode reduce this loss? …
How to replace diodes with MOSFETs?
Mar 28, 2022 · The circuit shown below allows clips the output to +1 and -1. How can I replace the diodes with MOSFETs that have a similar behavior?
[SOLVED] - N Channel MOSFET switch's flyback body diode
Mar 28, 2014 · The N-MOSFET has a body diode I have read repeatedly that can be used as a "freewheeling" or flyback diode. I do not understand how this works as the diode is …
no body diode mosfet - All About Circuits
Oct 16, 2016 · The body diode is an "artifact" of the mosfet manufacturing process, not something that can be removed. If you need something like a mosfet, without the body diode, maybe …
