The study of Schottky barrier (SB) MOSFETs with metallic source and drain contacts is expanding as a result of recent developments in the semiconductor industry. Instead of the usual impurity-doped ...

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 ...

Nexperia has put an ideal diode, including its p-channel mosfet, and reverse polarity protection, in a 2.1 x 1.25 x 0.95mm TSSOP6 package. Called NID5100, it is aimed at industrial and consumer ...

Some diode manufacturers caution against using the diode tester function in ohmmeters because it could exceed the reverse-voltage and forward-current ratings of sensitive diodes. This is especially ...

When you leaf through a basic electronics textbook, you’ll find chapters describing in detail the operation of the various components. Resistors, capacitors, inductors, and semiconductors. The latter ...

[Afroman] is back again with another great tutorial video on the basics of electronics. This time it’s zener diodes. Page three or four of every ‘beginners guide to electronics’ covers a diode as, “a ...
