A diode is a device that allows electric current to flow in only one direction, from its anode towards its cathode but not the other way around. There is plenty of online material explaining diode ...

[Julian] knows that real diodes you can buy don’t work exactly like we say they do. That’s actually pretty common. We routinely ignore things like wire resistance and source resistance in batteries.

Called DZDH0401DW, it is designed to work with a p-channel mosfet in the high-side rail in systems up to 40V. It might better be described as a ‘nearly ideal diode controller’ as it draws some current ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Power systems employ diodes to perform a variety of functions. For example, diodes can protect against damage due to power-source reverse-polarity ...

Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC4415, a monolithic two-channel 4A PowerPath™ ideal diode device designed to reduce heat, voltage drop and board space while preserving battery run time ...

The NID5100 is suitable for standard industrial and consumer applications while the NID5100-Q100 has been qualified for use in automotive applications. Ideal diodes are MOSFET based devices that offer ...

A diode is a device that allows current to flow in one direction but not in the other. This ability makes diodes useful in many applications, including converting AC to DC, regulating voltages, and ...
