Default Re: What is a CSN60?

The function of the internal body diode is virtually nothing. As diodes go it's too slow for the frequencies the MOSFET is normally used for and care has to be taken to ensure the diode never gets turned on. It's there as something implicit in the way MOSFETs are formed in a silicon substrate. We'd rather it wasn't there but we're stuck with it.
