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 ...

Next is the derivation of the Schottky diode current. The analysis of diode breakdown at high voltage is included as well, as is the construction of a SPICE model including parasitic elements. In this ...

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

You need a TVS diode because many voltage regulators do not have the ability to sink current, nor can they respond fast ...

Then knowing he needed 4 mA to power each LED for backlighting he used some 1978 vintage current limiting diodes designed to pass 2mA each regardless of voltage source, within limits of course.

A research team has developed high-performance diamond/ε-Ga ... efficient rectification and low reverse leakage current in the heterojunction diodes. Compared with previously reported diamond ...

With features like a low forward voltage drop, minimal capacitive charge, and high-temperature operation, these diodes are ideal for power conversion in AC/DC PFC, photovoltaic systems, and more.
