A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

This technical article gives you information on the advantages of Silicon Carbide Schottky Diodes over Silicon Rectifiers and how Silicon Rectifiers can compete with SiC Diodes. It also explains why ...

We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

UnitedSiC has added four silicon carbide junction barrier Schottky (JBS) diodes complement its SiC FET and JFET transistor products. The UJ3D 1,200V and 1,700V devices are part of the company’s 3rd ...

With Linear Technology’s LT4320 ideal-diode bridge controller, power supply designers can replace each of the four diodes in a conventional full-wave bridge rectifier with a low-loss N-channel MOSFET.

A major cause of losses in a conventional power supply using a 50/60-Hz transformer is the bridge rectifier. This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by ...

Controlling the propagation properties of the terahertz waves in graphene holds great promise in enabling novel technologies for the convergence of electronics and photonics. A diode is a fundamental ...

Tianjin Zhonghuan Semiconductor Co., Ltd. engages in the development, manufacture, and sale of semiconductors. Its products include high voltage silicon diode, silicon rectifier diode, silicon bridge ...

A new diode looks set to steal the humble LED's thunder. Dubbed a diode for light, and crafted using standard silicon chip fabrication techniques, this is a key discovery that will pave the path to ...
