Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Silicon Schottky diodes are used in power applications because of their low forward voltage drop, which allows lower ...
As active devices go, it doesn’t get much simpler than a diode. Two terminals. Current flows in one direction and not in the other. Simple, right? Well, then there are examples with useful side ...
On our travels round the hardware world we’ve encountered more than one group pursuing the goal of making their own silicon integrated circuits, and indeed we’ve seen [Sam Zeloof] producing some of ...
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 ...
Infineon Technologies AG has introduced the CoolSiC Schottky diode 2000 V G5, targeting industrial applications with higher power levels and minimized power losses. The CoolSiC Schottky diode is the ...
Gallium nitride (GaN) is fast becoming a foundational technology in power electronics, offering higher power density and better efficiency than traditional silicon. By bringing faster switching speeds ...
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 ...
For hard-switched power topologies, Infineon is planning a 100V GaN transistors with a integrated Schottky diode. “Due to the lack of body diode in hard-switching applications, GaN-based topologies ...
