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 ...

The semiconductor industry has a well-established history of “smaller, faster, and cheaper.” Improving performance and reducing device cost while shrinking packaging size is fundamental to virtually ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has announced the introduction of 16 new silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diodes available in 650 V and 1200 V ratings, housed in the SOT-227 package. Designed for ...

The introduction of silicon carbide (SiC) diodes has been a welcome solution to the reverse recovery losses in continuous conduction mode (CCM) boost power factor corrector (PFC) converters. While SiC ...

Although they are usually limited to only two leads, rectifiers and diodes play an important role in power electronic systems. In 2011, many types of rectifier/diodes were introduced, from bridge ...

I n an idealized diode, no reverse current flows from cathode to anode when the device is reverse-biased. However, with real-world diodes, large amounts of stored charge can flow from the cathode—back ...
