The voltage drop of silicon carbide (SiC) diodes refers to the electromotive force difference of SiC diodes. Silicon carbide diode is a semiconductor device with a P-N junction structure that can be used to control current or voltage. The voltage drop of a diode refers to the electromotive force difference between the P-N junction of the diode in the forward conducting state, that is, the forward bias voltage. This is due to the potential difference between the contact surfaces in the diode.
When using silicon carbide (SiC) diodes, some safety factors should be taken into account, such as avoiding excessive current flowing through the diode to prevent damage. During use, attention should also be paid to circuit design and diode selection to ensure optimal system performance.
Schottky diodes and silicon carbide Schottky diodes are two different types of diodes.
Silicon carbide (SiC) diodes have high stability and efficiency, making them suitable for various photovoltaic applications such as solar panels and solar systems. For example, in solar panels, silicon carbide diodes can prevent excessive current or overvoltage, thereby protecting solar cell components. In solar energy systems, it can also limit the charging current and control the charging and discharging process of the battery.
Silicon carbide diodes are unipolar devices, so compared to traditional silicon fast recovery diodes (silicon FRDs), silicon carbide diodes have ideal reverse recovery characteristics. When the device switches from forward to reverse blocking direction, there is almost no reverse recovery power, and the reverse recovery time is less than 20ns. Even the reverse recovery time of 600V10A silicon carbide diodes is less than 10ns.
Silicon carbide (SiC) diodes have low switching losses, high reverse withstand voltage, and thermal stability, and have been widely used. Here are the usage and testing methods for SiC diodes:
The success of protecting the system from the impact of electrostatic discharge (ESD) largely depends on the design of printed circuit boards (PCBs). Although selecting the appropriate transient voltage suppressor (TVS) is the fundamental approach to ESD protection strategies, it is not within the scope of this article. The technical documentation on ti.com/esd provides many ESD selection guides that can guide you on how to choose the appropriate TVS diode type for a specific system. After selecting the appropriate TVS, using the strategies listed in this ESD Layout Guide to design PCB layouts will provide PCB designers with a successful way to protect the system from ESD impacts.
In the early days, we all built our own power supply circuits, and now there are many integrated chips. DC-DC circuits are also ubiquitous in electronic products. This article shares some basic knowledge of DCDC circuit design with everyone. Concept and characteristics: DC-DC refers to a direct current to direct current power supply. It is a device that converts electrical energy from one voltage value into electrical energy from another voltage value in a DC circuit.
The SMAJ-HP6AT and 1.5SMBJ-AT series have applications ranging from industrial to automotive, lighting to communication, and their excellent characteristics make the new series of TVS diodes the best choice.
A diode is an electronic component made of semiconductor material that has a single conductivity, allowing only current to pass in one direction. A diode is composed of two different doped semiconductor materials, usually silicon (Si) or germanium (Ge). Among them, the side with high doping concentration is called the P-type region, and the side with low doping concentration is called the N-type region. The materials in the P-type zone mainly use trivalent elements, such as boron (B); The materials in the N-type zone mainly use pentavalent elements, such as phosphorus (P).
