Although they are a simple device, diodes do have a number of traits to consider. These traits are often application dependent. Some applications include: rectifiers, signal ORing, transistor turn off ...
The semiconductor industry has a well-established history of “smaller, faster, and cheaper.” Improving performance and reducing device cost while shrinking packaging size is fundamental to virtually ...
America Semiconductor, LLC announced the release of its SD51 silicon power Schottky diodes. The DO-5 stud-mount parts feature a continuous forward current of 60 A, and repetitive peak reverse voltage ...
Changes in the design and manufacture of laser diodes are seeding fundamental shifts in the way that we think about the cost and reliability of high brightness laser systems. Robert Martinsen of ...
Snubbers play an important role in switch-mode power supplies. To understand use of the snubber, we have to look at the performance of a switch-mode power supply. Fig. 1. RCD and R2CD snubbers for ON ...
WASHINGTON, D.C., Dec. 15, 2015 - A team of engineers from Cornell University, the University of Notre Dame and the semiconductor company IQE has created gallium nitride (GaN) power diodes capable of ...
