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 ...

Planar Schottky diodes serve as output rectifiers and ORing functions in redundant (n+1) power supplies. However, developers are demanding improved forward voltage drop (V F) and reverse leakage ...

The first Schottky barrier rectifiers based on Trench MOS technology can be used in rectification circuits or as OR-ing diodes in redundant switchmode power supplies. The five devices feature low ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. The switchmode power supply (SMPS) accounts for more than 10% of the total system weight in a typical portable computer. Power supplies of today's ...

Semiconductor manufacturer, America Semiconductor, LLC, has released its high-voltage, Schottky rectifier modules. The avalanche energy rated AK2S200-170 modules combine two fully independent ...

Rohm has created a proprietary trench MOS structure for 100V Schottky diodes to improve the trade-off between forward voltage and reverse leakage. It has been used to create the YQ series of rectifier ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...

The other day Linda from Purchasing came to me with a problem: Lou from Operations needed to source a replacement for a shorted diode on a switching power supply. The darned thing was marked with a ...
