Diode developed for faster electronics
14 October, 2003Engineers have designed a new diode that transmits more electricity - conducting 150,000 A per square centimetre. Unlike other diodes in its class, called tunnel diodes, the new diode is compatible with silicon, so manufacturers could build it into mainstream electronic devices such as mobile phone and computers.
Recovery diodes
05 June, 2003International Rectifier has introduced a family of standard-recovery diodes in a stud-mount DO-5 plastic-cap case.
Barrier Diode
10 July, 2001Rohm has recently developed a Schottky barrier diode (RB063L-30) that has both a low VF (forward voltage) and low IR (reverse current).
