This technical article gives you information on the advantages of Silicon Carbide Schottky Diodes over Silicon Rectifiers and how Silicon Rectifiers can compete with SiC Diodes. It also explains why ...

Although they are usually limited to only two leads, rectifiers and diodes play an important role in power electronic systems. In 2011, many types of rectifier/diodes were introduced, from bridge ...

Luton, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom, Aug. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exactitude Consultancy, the market research and consulting wing of Ameliorate Digital Consultancy Private Limited has completed ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

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 ...

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 ...

Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage drop. Which isn’t to say that with some effort we cannot create an ideal ...

Controlling the propagation properties of the terahertz waves in graphene holds great promise in enabling novel technologies for the convergence of electronics and photonics. A diode is a fundamental ...
