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 ...

STMicroelectronics has released details of BC2 (Back-Current Circuit), their new high-efficiency circuit and dedicated optimized power components design. BC2 is targeted for boost or buck converters – ...

With Linear Technology’s LT4320 ideal-diode bridge controller, power supply designers can replace each of the four diodes in a conventional full-wave bridge rectifier with a low-loss N-channel MOSFET.

Nexperia has entered into a partnership with KYOCERA AVX Components to jointly produce a 650 V, 20 A silicon carbide (SiC) rectifier module. Intended for high frequency power applications ranging from ...

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 ...
