Abstract:
Rectifier circuit. At least some of the example embodiments are circuits including: an anode terminal; a cathode terminal; a field effect transistor (FET) defining a drain, source, and gate, the source coupled to the anode terminal, and the drain coupled to the cathode terminal; a diode having anode and cathode, the anode coupled to the cathode terminal; a bootstrap capacitor coupled between the cathode of the diode and the anode terminal; a FET controller coupled to the gate of the FET and a node between the diode and bootstrap capacitor; the FET controller configured to make the FET conductive as the circuit becomes forward biased, and the FET controller configured to make the FET non-conductive during periods of time when the circuit is reverse biased.

Claim (Index 11):
A method comprising:\n storing energy on a bootstrap capacitor when a packaged semiconductor device is reverse biased and a field effect transistor (FET) of the packaged semiconductor device is non-conductive; coupling energy from the bootstrap capacitor to a gate of the FET to make the FET conductive when the packaged semiconductor device becomes forward biased, the coupling including controlling voltage drop across the FET to a set point voltage by driving the gate to create a source-to-drain resistance of the FET greater than a source-to-drain resistance if the FET was driven at its highest rated gate-to-source voltage; and then making the FET non-conductive prior to when the packaged semiconductor device becomes reverse biased.
