It’s easy enough to plop in a diode for protection, but as [Afroman] points ... His solution is to add a P channel MOSFET which only allows power to flow when the polarity of the source voltage ...

[Kevin Darrah] is risking the nerves on his index finger to learn about ESD protection ... focused on a sacrificial 2N7000 small signal MOSFET. So what happens to a circuit when you shock it?

A commonly used protection function to prevent this is the application of a negative voltage to the gate when it is turned ...

A commonly used protection function to prevent this is the application of a negative voltage to the gate when it is turned off. For some SiC MOSFETs, which commonly feature higher voltage ...
