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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: The basic diode charge-control model used in SPICE is extended by employing the lumped charge concept of J.G. Linvill and J.F. Gibbons (1961) to derive a set of model equations from ...

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 ...

A p-n junction diode is formed by doping one half of the semiconductor crystal with p-type impurity and the other half with n-type impurity while the crystal is being formed. In reverse bias the diode ...

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 ...
