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 ...

A new 600V GaAs Power Schottky diode is compared with Si and SiC diodes in a 200W CCM-PFC system. With both, GaAs and SiC, the PFC system losses were reduced up to 25%. Higher on-state losses of GaAs ...

Diodes has announced silicon carbide Schottky diodes rated at 650V and 1.2kV, the company’s first SiC Schottkys. The DSCxxA065 series has eleven 650V diodes rated at 4, 6, 8 or 10A. The DSCxx120 ...

After lying dormant in research laboratories for decades, silicon carbide (SiC) is beginning to realize its potential as a substrate material. “[Transistor inventor William B.] Shockley called it the ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. The switchmode power supply (SMPS) accounts for more than 10% of the total system weight in a typical portable computer. Power supplies of today's ...

This course is primarily aimed at first year graduate students interested in engineering or science, along with professionals with an interest in power electronics and semiconductor devices . It is ...

As active devices go, it doesn’t get much simpler than a diode. Two terminals. Current flows in one direction and not in the other. Simple, right? Well, then there are examples with useful side ...

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 ...

For hard-switched power topologies, Infineon is planning a 100V GaN transistors with a integrated Schottky diode. “Due to the lack of body diode in hard-switching applications, GaN-based topologies ...

Infineon Technologies has introduced the world’s first gallium nitride (GaN) power transistors with integrated Schottky diode for industrial use. The product family of medium-voltage CoolGaN ...

CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms, announced the ...
