Abstract:
Non-ideal diodes have a non-zero resistance across a PN junction when the junction is forward biased. When a diode comprising a power supply has a voltage drop across the junction that exceeds a predetermined threshold, the threshold-exceeding voltage drop trips a comparator, the output of which controls a switch between a power supply and a load.
