There is plenty of online material explaining diode basics, so this post explains some of the key points about Ideal Diodes! An Ideal Diode is a two terminal device which allows the electric current ...

So, while a real diode will only pass current in one direction, it will also drop some of the voltage. [Julian] shows you how you can get simulated ideal diodes and why you might want them in a ...

Ideal components don’t exist, but two low-quiescent-current “ideal” diodes come close, enhancing active rectification on automotive dc rails. The word “ideal” is often used in ...

It might better be described as a ‘nearly ideal diode controller’ as it draws some current from the output circuit when no input is connected – 147μA if a 12V battery is connected to the output in the ...

Nexperia has put an ideal diode, including its p-channel mosfet, and reverse polarity protection, in a 2.1 x 1.25 x 0.95mm TSSOP6 package. Called NID5100, it is aimed at industrial and consumer ...

Linear Technology Corporation is claiming a major breakthrough with the introduction of the LT4320, an ideal diode bridge controller for 9V to 72V systems that replaces each of the four diodes in a ...

Although perfection isn’t achievable, several controllers and integrated devices allow you to implement ideal-diode functionality for your automotive, industrial, consumer, or other applications ...

So, while a real diode will only pass current in one direction, it will also drop some of the voltage. [Julian] shows you how you can get simulated ideal diodes and why you might want them in a ...
