Patent ID: 8541271

Claim:
A method for switching current using a control FET and a sync FET, the method comprising: partitioning a current into a plurality of current segments; distributing the plurality of current segments to sections of a control drain element of a control FET, the current segments distributed through a plurality of vias distributed along a surface of the control drain element; distributing the plurality of current segments to sections of a control source element of a control FET, the current segments distributed through a plurality of vias distributed along a surface of the control source element; coupling a control gate signal to a first and second end of a control gate finger disposed between the control drain element and a control source element of the control FET; switching the plurality of current segments from the control drain element to the control source element using the control gate finger; conducting the switched current segments along a continuous ohmic metal from the control source element of the control FET to a sync drain element of a sync FET; and extracting the plurality of current segments from sections along the sync drain element through a plurality of vias distributed along a surface of the sync drain element.
