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 ...

The STPS50U100C high-efficiency power-rectifier diode suits use in the output of power supplies for adapters, desktop PCs, servers, and TV and video products. The forward-voltage drop is the primary ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. When devices are being designed to operate at low voltage, it’s often necessary to take into account the voltage drop ...

“The initial family of 29 devices provides the blocking, free-wheeling, fly-back and other diode functions commonly found in a wide range of applications, such as ac-dc chargers, ac-dc adapters, dc-dc ...

Alpha and Omega Semiconductor has announced a family of active diodes which can reduce the 1.2V forward drop of 600V bridge rectifiers. “Both products are self-powered from the AC line and do not ...

Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage drop. Which isn’t to say that with some effort we cannot create an ideal ...

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

The most basic diagrams depicting non-isolated DC-DC converters generally show two ideal switches and an energy storage inductor. In early designs, it was quickly realized that one switch could be ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...
