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 ...

Nexperia has created a 20A 1,200V SiC Schottky diode, using a merged PiN structure to increase surge current capability. For 10ms half-sine pulses its rating is 135A, 91A 2 /s at 25°C, and 100A, 50A 2 ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Silicon Schottky diodes are used in power applications because of their low forward voltage drop, which allows lower ...

Cree, Inc., a market leader in silicon carbide (SiC) power devices, has introduced a series of packaged diodes that deliver the industry’s highest blocking voltage available in SiC Schottky technology ...

Planar Schottky diodes serve as output rectifiers and ORing functions in redundant (n+1) power supplies. However, developers are demanding improved forward voltage drop (V F) and reverse leakage ...
