We always enjoy [w2aew’s] videos, and his latest on zener diodes is no exception. In it, he asserts that all Zener diodes are not created equal. Why? You’ll have to watch the video below to find out.

For beginners, diode types can sometimes be a bit of mental gymnastics. If all it does is act like a magic pixie check valve, why are there so many kinds? Schottky diodes are typically hard to ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Front-end limiter circuits using Schottky and PIN diodes can provide needed protection in communications and other RF systems. However, ...

Since wireless radio transmissions were first achieved in the 1880s, telecommunications have evolved to the point where instant global communication is a daily reality, currently contributing more ...

Gallium nitride (GaN) is fast becoming a foundational technology in power electronics, offering higher power density and better efficiency than traditional silicon. By bringing faster switching speeds ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has announced the launch of three new Gen 3 650 V and 1200 V silicon carbide Schottky diodes, specifically the VS-3C01EJ12-M3, VS-3C02EJ07-M3, and VS-3C02EJ12-M3, which ...

For hard-switched power topologies, Infineon is planning a 100V GaN transistors with a integrated Schottky diode. “Due to the lack of body diode in hard-switching applications, GaN-based topologies ...
