Description
The SPV1001 is a system-in-package solution for
photovoltaic applications to perform cool bypass
rectification similar to that of a conventional
Schottky diode but with much lower forward
voltage drop and reverse leakage current.
The device consists of a power MOSFET
transistor which charges a capacitor during the
OFF time, and drives its gate during the ON time
using the charge previously stored in the
capacitor.
The ON and OFF times are set to reduce the
average voltage drop across the drain and source
terminals, resulting in reduced power dissipation.
