What we really want is an ideal diode with zero voltage drop. Sadly, such a thing does not exist; however, there is a type of diode with a lower voltage drop — the Schottky diode. What we really want ...

Diodes has released its first silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky barrier diodes, including 11 devices rated at 650 V and 8 devices rated at 1200 V. The 650-V DSCxxA065 series provides current ratings of 4 ...

For beginners, diode types can sometimes be a bit of mental gymnastics. If all it does is act like a magic pixie check valve, why are there so many kinds? Schottky diodes are typically hard to ...
