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 ...

Testing the reverse-recovery behavior of diodes normally requires complex testing gear. You must be able to establish the forward-conduction conditions, the blocking state, and the transition between ...

This article presents the reverse polarity protection for DC/DC converters. It describes the series diode protection, as well as the shunt diode, and P-FET polarity protection circuits. This article ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) has announced an ideal diode controller for system protection against reverse discharge. Emulating an ideal diode, by driving ...

TI’s LM74670-Q1 is a controller that, combined with an n-channel mosfet, makes a diode with a forward drop of 20mV 98% of the time. It only connects to the mosfet (and a capacitor) and not to any ...

Diodes has introduced a pair of 80V ideal diode controllers to protect against reverse connections and voltage transients. Minimum operating voltage is 3.2V. “The controllers have all the features ...

PLANO, Texas, July 23, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD) today introduces the AP74502Q and AP74502HQ automotive-compliant* 80V ideal diode controllers, providing robust and ...

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 ...

One of the oldest and one of the newest semiconductors, Schottky diode use can be traced back to before 1900 where crystal detectors were all effectively Schottky diodes. Today, the new silicon ...
