To illustrate a basic diode switch, we’ve prepared a couple of simplified circuit diagrams. The first shows the anode tied to ground through R1 and the cathode tied to the Vcc power rail.

Dual 10 A and 20 A common-cathode diodes are housed in the industry-standard, rugged DPAK TO-252 package. Comments Edward Ong, product marketing manager at Power Integrations: “The automotive ...

Circuit symbol: the diode symbol consists of a triangle pointing towards a line. The triangle represents the anode, and the line represents the cathode. Forward-biased diode: an ideal diode ...

Suitable for mobile handsets, tablets and notebooks, where light weight, slim product design is essential, these single, dual and dual-dual (both series and common cathode) diode configurations ...
