Abstract
Embodiments relate to a cascode diode circuit. The cascode diode circuit comprises a normally on transistor, a low voltage diode and a high voltage diode. The normally on transistor has a gate, a drain, and a source. The low voltage diode has a cathode connected to the source of the normally on transistor and an anode connected to the gate of the normally on transistor. The high voltage diode has a cathode connected to a node between the normally on transistor and the low voltage diode, and an anode connected the drain of the normally on transistor.
