Reverse leakage testing Reverse leakage may be measured only after removing the component from the circuit board because shunt resistances abound in almost all circuits. Good silicon rectifiers and ...

The circuit was compared to a popular KBU8B silicon diode rectifier. At an input voltage of 5 V rms at 50 Hz and a constant load of 5 A dc, the KBU8B’s output was 4.45 V dc, average, measured ...

Then, once the size of MIT's diode for light is scaled down -- it's currently around 400nm long, some 20 times larger than a transistor -- we might begin to see photonic circuits in computers.

Nexperia has teamed up with Kyocera AVX to develop an industrial 650V 20A silicon carbide rectifier module. It is aimed at “high frequency power applications ranging from 3kW to 11 kW power stack ...

Many researchers are developing photonic devices employing surface plasmon polaritons for applications to photonic integrated circuits.

Solar microinverters require high performance diodes to maximize the energy harvested from solar panels while reducing the cost per watt. Silicon Carbide Schottky diodes could ...

Infineon has put a 650V silicon IGBT alongside a silicon carbide diode in the same TO-247 packages. “Due to a freewheeling SiC Schottky barrier diode, the CoolSiC Hybrid IGBTs perform with ...

The best part about post-mortem teardowns of electronics is when you discover some unusual design features, whether or not these are related to the original fault. In the case of a recent ...
