This second course provides a more detailed description of high-voltage Schottky and p-n diodes, starting with the semiconductor physics background needed to analyze both types of diodes.

Under light-load conditions, the MOSFET in a power converter is off and current conducts through the Schottky diode. Because the Schottky is integrated with the MOSFET, its forward-voltage drop is ...

A single trench Schottky with improved performance replaces multiple planar diodes. Davide Chiola, International Rectifier, El Segundo, Calif. Planar Schottky diodes serve as output rectifiers and ...
