External TVS diodes can be used to supplement the internal clamping diodes of ICs. Surge ability of silicon TVS diodes are related to size. External TVS diodes can be 10x larger than internal clamping ...

This application note describes the diode selection process and snubber design for high voltage inverting flyback converter for subscriber-line interface card (SLIC) applications. Critical diode ...

Current limiting diodes (CLD) regulate current over a wide voltage range. CLDs are used in many applications. Some examples include waveform generators, battery chargers, and timing circuits. CLDs are ...

Basic power diodes consist of a diode built into a chip. Power diode arrays are composed of multiple, discrete, and usually unconnected devices on a single silicon chip. PIN count and number of ...

The first part of our series to explain “ideal diodes” in the small-signal domain and to contrast them with those found in the power domain. The intent of this series is to illustrate the “ideal” ...
