Designers often want to measure the junction temperature of a DC switching power supply. Knowing a system’s junction temperature is an important and basic requirement from safety and failure mode and ...

This application note discusses the factors that affect dynamic voltage sharing of series connected diodes and explains why co-packaged devices typically see little difference in the instantaneous ...

This video explains the function of diodes and how they are used to control the flow of electrical current in electronic circuits. Diodes are essential components that allow current to move in only ...

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 ...

Quick: What’s the forward voltage drop on a conducting diode? If you answered something like 0.6 to 0.7 V, you get a passing grade, but you’re going to have to read on. If you answered where T 0 and k ...

A semiconductor diode is an electronic component that allows current to flow in only one direction, acting like a one-way valve for electricity. It is commonly used for voltage regulation, converting ...

When we use an electronic component, we have some idea of what goes on inside it. We know that inside a transistor there’s a little piece of semiconductor with a junction made from differently doped ...

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) (Nasdaq: AOSL), a designer, developer, and global supplier of a broad range of discrete power devices, wide band gap ...

Toshiba has added six low reverse-current Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs) to its diode portfolio. They are in production now. With a peak reverse voltage of 40V, the new CCS15F40, CUS15F40, CBS10F40, ...
