The drain terminal of ET2 is connected to the negative side of the DC voltage power supply, the source terminal of FET2 is connected to the negative side of the load circuit, and the gate terminal of FET2 is connected to the positive side of the DC voltage power supply and the positive side of the load circuit. It was done. When the polarity of the input side is reversed, a voltage is applied between the gate and source terminals of the FETs 1 and 2 so that the drains and sources of the FETs 1 and 2 are turned off, and the FETs 1 and 2 are turned off.
Protects the load circuit from reverse voltage.
If the input side polarity is properly connected,
It is possible to reduce the power loss that occurs when a voltage is applied between the gate and source terminals of the FETs 1 and 2 so that the drains and sources of the FETs 1 and 2 turn on to the drain-source ON resistance of the FETs 1 and 2. Since the resistance is much smaller than the resistance of a conventionally used diode, power loss can be greatly reduced.
