Description
The SPV1001N 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.
