Reducing power dissipation from diodes is essential in all situations where high currents flow at relatively low voltages (e.g., when solar panels or lithium-ion batteries are connected in parallel).

Abstract: Synchronous rectification has previously been adopted in switched-mode circuits for reducing the conduction losses particularly in high-frequency, low-voltage, and high-current applications.

Superconductors are the key to lossless current flow. However, the realization of superconducting diodes has only recently become an important topic of fundamental research. An international research ...

Abstract: The performance of the diode is an important factor in achieving good efficiency for a power integrated circuit. In this paper, a MOS-controlled diode (MCD) is proposed on ...
