The first shows the anode tied to ground through R1 and the cathode tied to the Vcc power rail. The diode is in reverse bias, and no current is flowing through it.

I have BIOS here from SSD disk that is very low on VCC to GND, gets very hot during read attempts and out of 2MB there are like 5-6KB of differences across multiple dumps.

A careful look at an accompanying diagram suggests the mosfet is switched on is when the anode (source) increases to 105mV above the cathode (drain) and switched off as current reverses when that ...

We present the first advanced power diode technology that matches the diameter of a large Si wafer (≥200mm). Our proposed diode consists of a new cathode with a thin wafer process-induced crystal ...

The diode, in which the cathodic static domain is formed under certain conditions, where at the big pressure shock ionization can develop, is considered. Occurrence of shock ionization leads to ...

Santa Clara, Calif.—Qspeed Semiconductor has announced the full production release of its first common cathode product in an industry standard TO-220 package. The LQA20T300C consists of two 10-amp, ...
