Learn how to compare and select Schottky diodes and conventional diodes for your circuits. Find out their specifications, characteristics, applications, and limitations.

In this paper, the interaction between the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) and the Free-Wheeling Diode (FWD) in the short circuit type III (SC III) failure has been studied. The influence of ...

RGWxx65C series of hybrid IGBTs have an integrated 650V SiC Schottky barrier diode in the IGBT feedback block as a freewheeling diode that has almost no recovery energy, thus minimal diode switching ...

It turns out that designing a cost-effective circuit to make a better diode isn't always so simple and is highly application dependent. Take, for example, the synchronous buck converter.
