Ultra Low Loss Trench Gate PCI-PiN Diode with VF<350mV [PDF]
, 2011 PiN diode forward voltage drop was reduced to as low as 325mV by the pulsed carrier injection (PCI) mechanism with trench MOS gate as the integrated injection control switch. The conventional PiN diodes have voltage drop of about 0.8V which is equivalent

Effect of Genotype-Guided Oral P2Y12 Inhibitor Selection vs Conventional Clopidogrel Therapy on Ischemic Outcomes After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention [PDF]
JAMA, 2020 After percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), patients with CYP2C19*2 or *3 loss-of-function (LOF) variants treated with clopidogrel have increased risk of ischemic events. Whether genotype-guided selection of oral P2Y12 inhibitor therapy improves ischemic outcomes is unknown.To determine the effect of a genotype-guided oral P2Y12 inhibitor strategy ...
