ABSTRACT:
A loss-less diode equivalent circuit which functions to reduce and eliminate the forward bias voltage or drop associated with conventional diodes. The loss-less diode comprises a reverse connected MOSFET device which is configured with a clamping circuit and coupled to an input stage. The drain is coupled to the input stage which receives an input signal. The source of the MOSFET device provides an output port for charging a capacitor in a conduction or on state.
