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 ...

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 ...

IXYS UK Westcode recently introduced the addition of three new voltage classes to its range of 83 mm die, pressure contact rectifier diodes. The rectifier diodes with voltage rating at 1.5 kV, 4.0 kV, ...

Nexperia has introduced 120V silicon germanium (SiGe) rectifier diodes “with reverse voltages that combine the high efficiency of their Schottky counterparts with the thermal stability of ...

NANJING, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, SMC Diode Solutions, an American-led semiconductor design and manufacturing company, celebrated the opening of its second power discrete fab in Nanjing, China.

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.

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 ...

There have been great efforts over the past decade to obtain useful, that is, technologically viable and efficient, light emission from silicon both in the visible and infrared regions of the spectrum ...
