Not so fast with dismissing the diode though. There is another trick they have hiding up their sleeves, they can also act as a switch. It shouldn’t come as too much of a shock, after all a quick ...

Medium-voltage CoolGaN G5 transistors from Infineon include a built-in Schottky diode to minimize dead-time losses.

Switching converters require techniques such as multi-stage filtering and shielding to meet stringent EMI automotive ...

Diodes Incorporated has expanded its SiC product portfolio with a series of five high-performance, low figure-of-merit (FOM) ...

For hard-switched power topologies, Infineon is planning a 100V GaN transistors with a integrated Schottky diode. "Due to the ...

The high-performance SiC diodes are also notable for their low reverse leakage (IR) at 20µA (max.) which minimises heat dissipation and conduction losses, improving system stability and reliability, ...

These special diodes have particular purposes. A Schottky diode has a very low voltage drop and fast switching speed. Zener diodes have application in simple voltage regulation. If you ever ...

Infineon Technologies AG has introduced the world’s first gallium nitride (GaN) power transistors with integrated Schottky ...

The four-layer diode was the key to William Shockley's plan to revolutionize AT&T's phone system. It was a great device in theory, but not in practice -- at least not at the time when Shockley ...

Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) today announces the expansion of its silicon carbide (SiC) product portfolio with a series of five high-performance, low figure-of-merit (FOM) 650V SiC ...
