You should be able to recognise the graph of current against voltage for a diode. The diode has a very high resistance in one direction. This means that current can only flow in the other direction.

One is laid bare by [WizardTim], as he cross-sections a 20KV high-voltage diode. A conventional low-voltage silicon diode has a forward voltage drop of about 0.7V and a relatively low maximum ...

Vishay has launched 16 SiC Schottky diodes (650 V and 1200 V) in SOT-227 packages, enhancing efficiency in high-frequency ...

The diodes deliver high temperature operation to 175° C and a positive temperature coefficient for easy parallelling.

This design also uses a clamping diode to keep the gate voltage within a safe range. But there are P-FETs out there that wouldn’t need that diode or resistor. This method wastes ten times less ...

This second course provides a more detailed description of high-voltage Schottky and p-n diodes, starting with the semiconductor physics background needed to analyze both types of diodes. The main ...

650 V and 1200 V Schottky devices claimed to offer best trade-off between capacitive charge and forward voltage drop Vishay ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) has announced the launch of 16 new 650 V and 1200 V silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky ...
