FET with Antiparallel Diode

This device allows current to flow in both directions but it is capable to block voltage only in forward direction (from the positive/drain to negative/source port). Its states depends on gate control signal (controlled commutation) and on the conditions imposed by the external circuit.

Open

The field-effect transistor (FET) uses an electric field to control the flow of current. FETs are devices with three terminals: source, gate, and drain. FETs control the flow of current by the application of a voltage to the gate, which in turn alters the conductivity between the drain and source.

Two anti-parallel or inverse-parallel diodes are connected in parallel but with their polarities reversed.
