In looking at any buck converter point-of-load regulator designed today, chances are that it uses synchronous rectification rather than a conventional diode for freewheeling. Synchronous rectification ...

Fifth generation technology improves the characteristics of fourth generation IGBT and (free-wheeling diode) FWD devices, both switching behavior and electrical losses are improved. Furthermore, an ...

Traditional relay drivers involve multiple discrete components to drive the relay and protect against damage to the microcontroller or other devices that can be caused by the voltage spike generated ...

Monolithic bidirectional 1200 V GaN switches (MBDS) with integrated free-wheeling diodes, manufactured at Fraunhofer IAF in a multi-project wafer run using GaN-on-insulator technology ...
