Although they are a simple device, diodes do have a number of traits to consider. These traits are often application dependent. Some applications include: rectifiers, signal ORing, transistor turn off ...

A diode is an electric device which allows the flow of current only in one direction and restricts the current flow in the opposite direction. A diode starts its operations when a voltage signal is ...

The L-Series 600-V HEXFET power-MOSFET family's fast-body-diode characteristics are tailored for soft switching applications such as zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) circuits. The ZVS technique maximizes ...
