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 ...

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.

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Silicon Schottky diodes are used in power applications because of their low forward voltage drop, which allows lower ...

This application note presents the real Schottky diodes as the best choice for lowest forward voltage drop. This document describes the low, medium and high voltage level applications, as well as ...

Schottky diodes, also know as a hot carrier diodes, are known for their fast switching action. Unlike a standard diode that might have a voltage drop in the range of 1V-2V, the Schottky diode has a ...

(Nanowerk News) The Energy, Electron, Plasma and Plasmonic (EEPP) Group led by Prof. Ricky Ang at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) says that it has uncovered the underlying ...

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 ...
