Abstract
A composite switch circuit having a normally-on power switch device and a normally-off power switch device in cascode configuration is discussed. The composite switch circuit is with reduced power loss by biasing a common connection of the source terminal of the normally-on power switch device and the drain terminal of the normally-off power switch device with a low voltage supply during a reverse recovery process of the composite switch circuit.
