I n an idealized diode, no reverse current flows from cathode to anode when the device is reverse-biased. However, with real-world diodes, large amounts of stored charge can flow from the cathode—back ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has expanded its family of compact, integrated IGBTs with a high-speed switching device that will simplify the design and reduce the component count in cooking appliances ...

Santa Clara, Calif.—IXYS Corp. has introduced Sonic-FRD, a new-generation of fast recovery diodes that deliver 600-V, 1200-V and 1800-V voltage ratings with different current values from 5A up to 60A.

For automotive applications, among others, STTH series diodes from STMicroelectronics Inc. combine the ability to handle high voltage (between 800 V and 1200 V) and low current (1 A to 3 A) with ...
