Abstract

According to an embodiment, a rectifier circuit includes a first diode, a switching element, and a second diode. The first diode is connected between a first terminal and a second terminal so that a direction toward the first terminal from the second terminal is in a forward direction. The switching element has a first main electrode connected to the first terminal, a second main electrode connected to a cathode of the first diode, and a gate electrode connected to an anode of the first diode. The second diode is connected in parallel with respect to the switching element so that a direction toward the first terminal from the cathode of the first diode is in a forward direction, between the first main electrode and the second main electrode of the switching element.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a rectifying circuit. Background technique

[0002] Conventionally, there has been proposed a rectifier circuit in which a unipolar FET (Field Effect Transistor: Field Effect Transistor) as a normally-on element and a diode are connected gate-cathode. The switching speed of this rectifier circuit depends on the diode, and the withstand voltage capability of the element depends on the FET.

[0003] When such a rectifier circuit is used, for example, as a freewheel diode of a switching power supply operating at high speed, the conduction may be delayed due to parasitic capacitance between the gate and the source of the FET.
