A diode is a device that allows current to flow in one direction but not in the other. This ability makes diodes useful in many applications, including converting AC to DC, regulating voltages, and ...

Diodes come in many varieties, and it’s not always obvious how to choose the right one. Let’s start by answering two questions: “What is a diode?” and “why are there so many types?” Actually, let’s ...

Reducing power dissipation from diodes is essential in all situations where high currents flow at relatively low voltages (e.g., when solar panels or lithium-ion batteries are connected in parallel).

Calculates the parameters that are not available in the datasheet of photovoltaic modules. In order to do so, equations derived from the diode model are used. Due to the complexity of the equations, ...

The SMS7621-060 is a silicon, low-barrier N-type Schottky diode that can be incorporated into mixer, sampling, and sensitive detector circuit applications that cover the 24 GHz band. For more features ...

The CLA4603-085LF is a low capacitance silicon PIN limiter diode designed with a combination of low junction capacitance, low parasitic inductance, low thermal resistance, and nominal 1.5 μm I-region ...

Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their reverse breakdown region, but Zener diodes are the exception to this rule. Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their ...
