In looking at any buck converter point-of-load regulator designed today, chances are that it uses synchronous rectification rather than a conventional diode for freewheeling. Synchronous rectification ...

Technological innovations in power electronics are not only essential for the success of the energy transition, they also provide sustainable support for economic development in Europe. The Fraunhofer ...

With the NCDR95A170, onsemi targets engineers who need robust, efficient freewheeling and rectifier diodes for high-power drives and inverters. A closer look shows where the 1700 V silicon device ...

Fifth generation technology improves the characteristics of fourth generation IGBT and (free-wheeling diode) FWD devices, both switching behavior and electrical losses are improved. Furthermore, an ...

Monolithic bidirectional 1200 V GaN switches (MBDS) with integrated free-wheeling diodes, manufactured at Fraunhofer IAF in a multi-project wafer run using GaN-on-insulator technology ...
