ABSTRACT:
An MOS-bipolar hybrid-mode LDMOS device has a main gate input and a control gate input wherein the device operates in an MOS mode when both gate inputs are enabled, and operates in a bipolar mode when the main gate input is enabled and the control gate input is disabled. The device can drive the gate of a power MOSFET to deliver the high current required by the power MOSFET while in the bipolar mode, and provide a fully switching between supply voltage and ground to the gate of the power MOSFET while in the MOS mode.
