Reverse leakage testing Reverse leakage may be measured only after removing the component from the circuit board because shunt resistances abound in almost all circuits. Good silicon rectifiers and ...

The circuit was compared to a popular KBU8B silicon diode rectifier. At an input voltage of 5 V rms at 50 Hz and a constant load of 5 A dc, the KBU8B’s output was 4.45 V dc, average, measured ...

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 ...

The best part about post-mortem teardowns of electronics is when you discover some unusual design features, whether or not ...

A solid-state device, the gate-controlled, silicon controlled rectifier, or GTO SCR, that can be turned on and off by the application of a signal to its gate can be used in automotive electrical ...

Solar microinverters require high performance diodes to maximize the energy harvested from solar panels while reducing the cost per watt. Silicon Carbide Schottky diodes could ...

So, a common silicon diode rectifier will not work well at the low end due to the 600mV diode threshold. The half-wave peak detector in below figure (obtained directly from the datasheet)uses a PNP ...
