Some diode manufacturers caution against using the diode tester function in ohmmeters because it could exceed the reverse-voltage and forward-current ratings of sensitive diodes. This is especially ...

Zener diode is a silicon semiconductor device that permits current to flow in either a forward or reverse direction. The diode consists of a special, heavily doped p-n junction, designed to conduct in ...

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 ...

The circuit may be powered with a DC-Adapter $12VDC$ or $24VDC$, obviously the maximum measurable zener voltage depends on the supply voltage. The circuit allows you to test different types of diodes, ...

This article presents the reverse polarity protection for DC/DC converters. It describes the series diode protection, as well as the shunt diode, and P-FET polarity protection circuits. This article ...

TI’s LM74670-Q1 is a controller that, combined with an n-channel mosfet, makes a diode with a forward drop of 20mV 98% of the time. It only connects to the mosfet (and a capacitor) and not to any ...

Littelfuse LS2405IDD23 Low Forward Voltage Diode, available now from Mouser, integrates a 35mOhm N-channel MOSFET to replace the Schoktty diode and is typically used for redundant supply applications.

Because of their compact size, higher efficiency, and superior performance in high-power applications, SiC MOSFETs are now replacing Si devices in switching applications. SiC devices enable faster ...

Nexperia has put an ideal diode, including its p-channel mosfet, and reverse polarity protection, in a 2.1 x 1.25 x 0.95mm TSSOP6 package. Called NID5100, it is aimed at industrial and consumer ...
