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 ...

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 ...
