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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

II-VI’s direct diode laser engines are available with powers ranging from 200 to 1200 W. They are small, lightweight and robust, making them ideal for direct mounting on automated stages or robots.

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 ...
