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 ...

Abstract: A 2-diode test structure is proposed and investigated for use with simple I-V measurements, giving an easy-to-process, fast turn-around-time method of comparing process-dependent current ...

Abstract: This paper presents a test setup to characterize current collapse effects in power diodes such as GaN-based Schottky junctions. The setup principle and its main parts are described.

The move to higher operating frequencies in power converters, spurred by the reduced switching losses offered by wide-bandgap semiconductor technologies, enables the achievement of high power density ...

A single trench Schottky with improved performance replaces multiple planar diodes. Davide Chiola, International Rectifier, El Segundo, Calif. Planar Schottky diodes serve as output rectifiers and ...

Medium-voltage CoolGaN G5 transistors from Infineon include a built-in Schottky diode to minimize dead-time losses and enhance system efficiency. The integrated diode also streamlines power stage ...

The wide bandgap revolution in power conversion is well under way. To fulfil efficiency and power density targets in energy-conscious applications, designers are now rejecting silicon devices in ...

In this paper, we present the design of a 285 GHz tripler realized by planar Schottky diode. The complete multiplying circuit and diodes is mounted on 50 um thick quartz substrate. The measured result ...

Apart from power supplies, SiC Schottky diode also finds applications in motor drives, LED drivers, and PF correction systems. The SiC Schottky diode is a wide bandgap semiconductor device having ...
