A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) (Nasdaq: AOSL), a designer, developer and global supplier of a broad range of power semiconductors and power ICs, ...
This application note tackles on how to protect analog output circuits and why they should be protected. As one of the necessary components in the system’s performance, analog output circuits should ...
How to replace MOSFETs with load switches, and the impact of on-resistance. Swapping out diodes with ideal diodes, and the use of ideal-diode controllers. Why replacing fuses and resettable fuses with ...
Nexperia has put an ideal diode, including its p-channel mosfet, and reverse polarity protection, in a 2.1 x 1.25 x 0.95mm TSSOP6 package. Called NID5100, it is aimed at industrial and consumer ...

A Zener diode can be used as an overvoltage protector that shunts fault current through ground via a current-limiting resistor (Figure 2). Note that the Zener protection is effective only if the Zener ...
An ideal protection device must limit the energy going to the load being defended, to a sufficient minimum level, such that the load is not damaged. The protection device must survive this energy ...
High demands on the robustness of electronic systems, especially in industrial environments, continually present developers with great challenges. Overvoltage protection is one key design ...
