I am trying out a CMOS rectifier. I did built a bridge rectifier and it works fine.
The doubt which I am getting now is, how important is the bulk connection in diode connected transistor (PMOS).
Consider a PMOS with Gate-drain (GD) connected, and the bulk connected to source terminal (SB). Now the question is which of these connection form the P and N terminal of the diode and how is it determined.
Which junction in transistor, the diode characteristic is used. Is it drain-bulk, source-bulk of gatedrain-source junction.
Can anyone brief on it?
Thanks in advance.

Deepak
