What we really want is an ideal diode with zero voltage drop. Sadly, such a thing does not exist; however, there is a type of diode with a lower voltage drop — the Schottky diode. What we really want ...
For beginners, diode types can sometimes be a bit of mental gymnastics. If all it does is act like a magic pixie check valve, why are there so many kinds? Schottky diodes are typically hard to ...
Nexperia has created a 20A 1,200V SiC Schottky diode, using a merged PiN structure to increase surge current capability. For 10ms half-sine pulses its rating is 135A, 91A 2 /s at 25°C, and 100A, 50A 2 ...
