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 ...

Nexperia has extended its trench Schottky rectifier range with devices rated at up to 100V and 20A in the company’s ‘CFP’ packages with an internal copper clip (right), intended to have smaller ...

Medium-voltage CoolGaN G5 transistors from Infineon include a built-in Schottky diode to minimize dead-time losses and enhance system efficiency. The integrated diode also streamlines power stage ...

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 ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Silicon Schottky diodes are used in power applications because of their low forward voltage drop, which allows lower ...

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 ...
