One of the most common parts and one of the earliest electronic devices is known to be a power diode. Its purpose is to limit the electric current’s ability to flow in one direction while obstructing ...

We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

Diodes DIOD is benefiting from its expanding footprint in the industrial and automotive markets. These two markets represented 46% of the total product revenues in 2023. DIOD is further strengthening ...

Vishay Intertechnology VSH unveiled two new 1200 V FRED Pt Hyperfast rectifiers, namely VS-E7MH0112-M3 and VS-E7MH0112HM3c, in its Gen 7 platform. Notably, both devices come in an SMA (DO-214AC) ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...

Alpha and Omega Semiconductor has announced a family of active diodes which can reduce the 1.2V forward drop of 600V bridge rectifiers. “Both products are self-powered from the AC line and do not ...

AVX Corporation has introduced a new series of Schottky barrier rectifier diodes uniquely packaged as lead-less chips. Eliminating the standard lead frame wire bond provides the chip with top-bottom ...

A major cause of losses in a conventional power supply using a 50/60-Hz transformer is the bridge rectifier. This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) has announced the introduction of a series of high-current Schottky rectifiers in ultra-compact chip scale packages (CSPs).
