Reverse leakage testing Reverse leakage may be measured only after removing the component from the circuit board because shunt resistances abound in almost all circuits. Good silicon rectifiers and ...

The circuit was compared to a popular KBU8B silicon diode rectifier. At an input voltage of 5 V rms at 50 Hz and a constant load of 5 A dc, the KBU8B’s output was 4.45 V dc, average, measured ...

The best part about post-mortem teardowns of electronics is when you discover some unusual design features, whether or not ...

Nexperia has entered into a partnership with KYOCERA AVX Components to jointly produce a 650 V, 20 A silicon carbide (SiC) rectifier module.

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 ...

Diode makes software to design printed circuit boards, which are used in most electronics. The startup raised $11.4 million in Series A funding led by A16z.

Solar microinverters require high performance diodes to maximize the energy harvested from solar panels while reducing the cost per watt. Silicon Carbide Schottky diodes could ...
