Huh? It's trivial. I designed a LiIon battery charger chip based on that very scheme. ...Jim Thompson

in the wrong way.

That's a complementary pair... separate chips on hybrid substrate. I used that very device to solve a touch screen power supply issue for someone up near you where it BLIZZARDS ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Same comments apply to you as to Spehro. You need reading glasses. You must be getting old :-) ...Jim Thompson

Didn't you just advocate for legalizing that?

A oui bit of snow might be nice for a change- it's getting a bit dreary with the short days and November rain.

Could be, you would get the same basic appearance in both drains but the voltage magnitudes would be different.

I just measured a BF961 dual gate and it has no body diode.

Maybe the body diode is merely a mechanical consequence of mounting the si on a heat conducting copper sort of thing for power MOSFETS. Sometimes the body diode in that case is actually a sort of zener, or avalanche protection, in reverse mode, like for example in the case of IRLZ34A that I use a lot.

Doesn't it mean isolating drains from substrate?

RL

Draw a cross section...

P-type wafer/substrate

3 N-type plugs left to right separated by about 2" (on paper :-)

Call left-most N-type plug as Drain_1

Call right-most N-type plug as Drain_2

Call center N-type plug as the Common Source

Tie that Common Source to the P-type substrate

Add oxide, then Gates over the P-type separating the plugs ...Jim Thompson

Arrgh, 'tis an inter lingual pun.

Deliciously clever. Thank you for making my day a little less eggsasperating! :-)
