This application note presents the real Schottky diodes as the best choice for lowest forward voltage drop. This document describes the low, medium and high voltage level applications, as well as ...

Sometimes the naming of parts in electronics can contribute to confusion about what they are good for, with the topic of ...

The second part of our series to explain “ideal diodes” in the small-signal domain and to contrast them with those found in the power domain. The intent of this series is to illustrate the “ideal” ...

Schottky diodes are also known as Schottky barrier diodes or hot-carrier diodes. They consist of a junction between a metal layer and a semiconductor element. The metal layer, the anode, is heavily ...

The circuit was designed to provide a means for measuring the operating voltage of zener diodes before applying on a circuit. Zener Diode – a special kind of diode that permits the flow of current in ...

High voltage diodes are semiconductor devices designed to allow current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direction. They are specifically engineered to handle high voltage ...

When looking across the discrete components in your electronic armory, it is easy to overlook the humble diode. After all, one can be forgiven for the conclusion that the everyday version of this ...

Blue light is vital for light-emitting devices, lighting applications, as well as smartphone screens and large screen displays. However, it is challenging to develop efficient blue organic ...
