Zetex has announced a synchronous rectifier controller for flyback converters. Combined with a discrete power Mosfet, the ZXGD3101T8 ‘zero point detector driver’ replaces Schottky and other diodes to ...

It's vital that MOSFET power-switch drivers be protected from a reverse-battery connection. A small rectifier diode can shield against reversed batteries. But that approach is generally unacceptable ...

This article presents the reverse polarity protection for DC/DC converters. It describes the series diode protection, as well as the shunt diode, and P-FET polarity protection circuits. This article ...

Failure Mechanism Detection Algorithm With MOSFET Body Diode A defect diagnosis and physical damage detection method for electronic packaging are studied by measuring the thermal impedance through the ...

Among passive electronic components, the fuse and diode are well known, well understood, widely used, and essential to many circuits and systems. Still, each has inherent shortcomings that make them ...

KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation and Toshiba Corporation (collectively “Toshiba”) have developed an SiC metal oxide semiconductor field effect ...

Perhaps, that’s the single most popular use for an NPN transistor – driving coils, like relays or solenoids. We are quite used to driving relays with BJTs, typically an NPN – but it doesn’t have to be ...

Taiwan-based power MOSFET and diode suppliers, primarily involved in the supply chain for notebooks and other PCs, anticipate demand will recover around mid-2024. Save my User ID and Password Some ...

NANJING, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, SMC Diode Solutions, an American-led semiconductor design and manufacturing company, celebrated the opening of its second power discrete fab in Nanjing, China.

Taiwan-based power MOSFET and diode suppliers are more enthusiastic about demand from the automotive industry than from AI in 2024 and beyond. Save my User ID and Password Some subscribers prefer to ...

DC/DC converters are not protected against reverse polarity connection. Swapping the VIN+ and VIN- terminals will almost certainly cause immediate failure, so care must be taken to ensure that any ...
