摘要: A trench MOSFET is disclosed that includes a semiconductor substrate having a vertically oriented trench containing a gate. The trench MOSFET further includes a source, a drain, and a conductive element. The conductive element, like the gate is contained in the trench, and extends between the gate and a bottom of the trench. The conductive element is electrically isolated from the source, the gate, and the drain. When employed in a device such as a DC-DC converter, the trench MOSFET may reduce power losses and electrical and electromagnetic noise.

摘要: Systems, devices, and methods for isolating digital signals are described. A carrier signal can be modulated using a first signal to generate a first modulated signal. The carrier signal and the first modulated signal can be transmitted through a forward path in an isolation barrier, where transmitting the carrier signal through the isolation barrier can transform the carrier signal into a delayed carrier signal. The first modulated signal can be demodulated to recover the first signal. The delayed carrier signal can be modulated using a second signal to generate a second modulated signal. The delayed carrier signal and the second modulated signal can be transmitted through a return path in the isolation barrier, where the return path and the forward path has opposite directions.
