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 ...

ORing diodes are a necessary evil of high-reliability systems. They're used to isolate redundant power sources so a failure of one source won't bring down the entire system. Several inherent problems ...

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 ...

Diodes Incorporated has announced the first devices in a family of Super Barrier Rectifiers (SBR) designed for automotive applications. The company claims the devices have a lower forward voltage drop ...

The amount of data needed for cloud computing is constantly growing, thus leading to increased energy consumption. A pivotal role is, in fact, played by The UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) [2][3].

Nexperia has introduced 120V silicon germanium (SiGe) rectifier diodes “with reverse voltages that combine the high efficiency of their Schottky counterparts with the thermal stability of ...

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 ...

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 ...

RICHARDSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eltek, a Delta Group Company, today announced the new DPR6000B rectifier product line that makes use of Eltek High Efficiency (HE) technology to deliver 96 percent ...

Tokyo, Japan – Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new electrode material for deep-ultraviolet (DUV) light-emitting diode applications. They used a cutting-edge deposition ...
