What we really want is an ideal diode with zero voltage drop. Sadly, such a thing does not exist; however, there is a type of diode with a lower voltage drop — the Schottky diode. What we really want ...

This application note presents the real Schottky diodes as the best choice for lowest forward voltage drop. This document describes the low, medium and high voltage level applications, as well as ...

WASHINGTON, July 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vantage Market Research’s recent analysis of the Global Power Schottky Diode Market finds that increasing demand for consumer electronics, ...

For beginners, diode types can sometimes be a bit of mental gymnastics. If all it does is act like a magic pixie check valve, why are there so many kinds? Schottky diodes are typically hard to ...

Last week we covered diodes, specifically thermionic and PN junction diodes. But oh, there are more; and they’re special! One of the the most commonly used ‘specialty’ diode would have to be the metal ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. The switchmode power supply (SMPS) accounts for more than 10% of the total system weight in a typical portable computer. Power supplies of today's ...

Microchip has introduced Schottky diode power modules in 700, 1200 and 1700V variants. They come in a choice of packaging and current ratings, as well as in various topologies including dual diode, ...

After lying dormant in research laboratories for decades, silicon carbide (SiC) is beginning to realize its potential as a substrate material. [Transistor After lying dormant in research laboratories ...

Diodes has announced silicon carbide Schottky diodes rated at 650V and 1.2kV, the company’s first SiC Schottkys. The DSCxxA065 series has eleven 650V diodes rated at 4, 6, 8 or 10A. The DSCxx120 ...

A diode design can make terahertz signals stronger & work better, helping build smaller devices for imaging, sensing, and wireless communication.

Electromagnetic waves with frequencies between microwave and infrared light, also known as terahertz radiation, are leveraged by many existing technologies, including various imaging tools and ...
