Abstract

In a particular implementation, an apparatus to control clamping devices includes a first control circuit and a second control circuit. The first control circuit is responsive to a detection signal and generates a first drive signal to control a body diode of a clamping device. The second control circuit is responsive to the detection signal and generates a second drive signal to control the gate terminal of the clamping device.
