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 ...

STMicroelectronics has released details of BC2 (Back-Current Circuit), their new high-efficiency circuit and dedicated optimized power components design. BC2 is targeted for boost or buck converters – ...

With Linear Technology’s LT4320 ideal-diode bridge controller, power supply designers can replace each of the four diodes in a conventional full-wave bridge rectifier with a low-loss N-channel MOSFET.

This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in only one direction, making them essential for tasks like rectification, ...

Nexperia has teamed up with Kyocera AVX to develop an industrial 650V 20A silicon carbide rectifier module. It is aimed at “high frequency power applications ranging from 3kW to 11 kW power stack ...

Infineon has put a 650V silicon IGBT alongside a silicon carbide diode in the same TO-247 packages. “Due to a freewheeling SiC Schottky barrier diode, the CoolSiC Hybrid IGBTs perform with ...

Nexperia has entered into a partnership with KYOCERA AVX Components to jointly produce a 650 V, 20 A silicon carbide (SiC) rectifier module. Intended for high frequency power applications ranging from ...
