Abstract

An electronic device having at least a first HEMT transistor and bias circuit able to at least reverse bias the first HEMT transistor by applying an electric voltage Vof a positive value between a source of the first HEMT transistor and a drain of the first HEMT transistor. The first HEMT transistor is able to be ON when a value of an electric voltage Vbetween a gate of the first HEMT transistor and the drain of the first HEMT transistor is higher than a value of a threshold voltage Vof the first HEMT transistor. The electronic device has, during a forward biasing, a behavior similar to that of a forward biased or reverse biased Zener diode.
