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 ...

The circuit was designed to provide a means for measuring the operating voltage of zener diodes before applying on a circuit. Zener Diode – a special kind of diode that permits the flow of current in ...

Zener diodes keep voltage stable by allowing current to flow in reverse at a specific level. This video explains how they work and how Zener and avalanche breakdown help regulate voltage in circuits.

When we use an electronic component, we have some idea of what goes on inside it. We know that inside a transistor there’s a little piece of semiconductor with a junction made from differently doped ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. When devices are being designed to operate at low voltage, it’s often necessary to take into account the voltage drop ...

Diodes Incorporated has announced two automotive-compliant voltage translators for use in environments with ambient temperatures up to 125°C. The PI4ULS5V108Q and PI4ULS5V202Q are designed for ...

This course is primarily aimed at first year graduate students interested in engineering or science, along with professionals with an interest in power electronics and semiconductor devices . It is ...

Ideal diode bridge controller for 9 V to 72 V systems replaces each of the four diodes in a full-wave bridge rectifier with a low loss N-channel MOSFET. The LT4320 from Linear Technology is an ideal ...

Infineon is shipping the CoolSiC Schottky diode 2000 V G5 product family – its first discrete SiC diode with a breakdown voltage of 2000V – in a TO-247-2 package. The product family fits applications ...

The physicist William Shockley is perhaps today best known for three things: his role in the invention of the transistor, his calamitous management of Shockley Semiconductor which led to a mass ...
