What we really want is an ideal diode with zero voltage drop. Sadly, such a thing does not exist; however, there is a type of diode with a lower voltage drop — the Schottky diode. What we really want ...

In addition to its low forward voltage drop ratings, this series of Schottky barrier diodes give designers a choice of three reverse breakdown voltage options and four standard package types in a ...

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Littelfuse, Inc., the global leader in circuit protection, has added a series of silicon Schottky devices designed for ultra-low forward voltage drop (V F) to its rapidly ...

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 ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced the launch of twelve 650V silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky barrier diode (SBDs) based upon their latest 3rd generation technology. These devices are specifically ...

Some diode manufacturers caution against using the diode tester function in ohmmeters because it could exceed the reverse-voltage and forward-current ratings of sensitive diodes. This is especially ...
