Frederik Dostal explains the rise of the ideal diode and how it can be used to develop more robust power systems.

Called DZDH0401DW, it is designed to work with a p-channel mosfet in the high-side rail in systems up to 40V. It might better be described as a ‘nearly ideal diode controller’ as it draws some current ...

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 ...

Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC4227, a compact, dual ideal diode with Hot Swap™ controller that provides PowerPath™ and inrush current control for redundant supplies operating from ...

What if your Gigabit Ethernet protection circuit response resembled that of an ideal diode? Asks Len Stencel, applications manager for semiconductor products at Bourns. Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) is a ...

This lab seeks to illustrate the fundamental operation of uncontrolled rectifier circuits. The waveforms associated with these circuits are visualized using simulation and experimentation. The circuit ...

Using a MOSFET as an ideal diode can provide robust and reliable safety protection for the emerging generation of autonomous appliances, as Shane Timmons explains. The growing popularity of cordless ...

Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC4236, a dual ideal diode-OR and single Hot Swap controller with a load current monitoring output. High availability systems-servers, network routers, ...

The advanced LPS feature of the AOZ1390DI significantly mitigates the risks in hazardous conditions Designed to enhance USB Type-C efficiency and safety, the AOZ1390DI features Limited Power Source ...

[Julian] knows that real diodes you can buy don’t work exactly like we say they do. That’s actually pretty common. We routinely ignore things like wire resistance and source resistance in batteries.
