There are disclosed herein various implementations of nested composite diodes. In one implementation, a nested composite diode includes a primary transistor coupled to a composite diode. The composite diode includes a low voltage (LV) diode cascoded with an intermediate transistor having a breakdown voltage greater than the LV diode and less than the primary transistor. In one implementation, the primary transistor may be a group III-V transistor and the LV diode may be an LV group IV diode. |
