Abstract:
In described examples, bootstrap diode circuits include a first diode having a first diode input coupled to a voltage supply and a first diode output. Described bootstrap diode circuits additionally include a second diode having a second diode input coupled to the first diode output and a second diode output and a plurality of zener diodes coupled in series. The series-coupled zener diodes are further coupled in parallel with the second diode.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the second diode is coupled to an output of the bootstrap diode circuit, the reverse bias voltage being applied at the output of the bootstrap diode circuit, and the bootstrap diode circuit further includes a plurality of zener diodes coupled in series, the plurality of zener diodes being coupled in parallel with the second diode, the method further comprising clamping, with the plurality of zener diodes, the voltage drop across the second diode to a magnitude less than or equal to the reverse bias voltage rating of the second diode.
