Unidirectional hybrid switch. At least one example is a method operating a hybrid switch, the method comprising: sensing a voltage across an upper terminal and a lower terminal of the hybrid switch, the hybrid switch is forward biased when the upper terminal has higher voltage, and the hybrid switch is reverse biased when the lower terminal has higher voltage; when the hybrid switch is forward biased, selectively conducting a forward current from the upper terminal to the lower terminal by sharing the forward current between a FET switch and a BJT switch, the selectively conducting when a control terminal is asserted; and when the hybrid switch is reversed biased, non-selectively conducting a reverse current from the lower terminal to the upper terminal.
