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 ...

AVX Corporation has introduced a new series of Schottky barrier rectifier diodes uniquely packaged as lead-less chips. AVX Corporation has introduced a new series of Schottky barrier rectifier diodes ...

Schottky diodes, also know as a hot carrier diodes, are known for their fast switching action. Unlike a standard diode that might have a voltage drop in the range of 1V-2V, the Schottky diode has a ...

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 ...

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 ...

On our travels round the hardware world we’ve encountered more than one group pursuing the goal of making their own silicon integrated circuits, and indeed we’ve seen [Sam Zeloof] producing some of ...
