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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: Power diodes are required to have short reverse recovery time, soft recovery, high breakdown voltage and a low forward voltage drop at the rated forward current. Manufactures introduce ...

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.

Abstract: A pn-diode micro-model representing forward and reverse recovery phenomena for power electronic simulation, especially simulations using SPICE2 is presented. The model is proposed to ...

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 ...
