Input-A is connected to the drain terminal of MOSFET; Input-B to its gate terminal. The source terminal, labeled as Output-C, is the output of the AND gate. The MOSFET in the circuit is either ... The ...

Finally, the power diode losses - both on-state losses and switching losses - are examined in a converter circuit, including a comparison of silicon p-n diodes and 4H-SiC Schottky diodes.

The thermal fuse and PN diode work well for overcurrent ... situation and may need its own gate driver, depending on its current and voltage rating. Second, the circuit which “trips” on ...

However, a GaN GIT has a diode characteristic at the gate-source, and a corresponding gate drive circuit is thus required. Several studies in the literature have proposed the gate drive circuits with ...

Last week we covered diodes, specifically thermionic and PN junction diodes. But oh, there are more; and they’re special! One of the the most commonly used ‘specialty’ diode would have to be ...

This image shows a state-of-the-art design of GaN p-n junction diodes that has resulted in near-unity ideality factor, avalanche breakdown capability, and record-breaking power performance.
