The main application areas of Schottky diodes are switching power supplies or SMPS, with operating frequencies exceeding 20 kHz.
When the frequency is an AC signal input to a nonlinear component diode transistor, the original sine wave signal will generate DC, fundamental components, and second and third harmonic components. Then, through a frequency selection network, the desired frequency band can be selected to obtain the desired frequency band signal for multiplication.
By utilizing the energy storage characteristics of capacitors and inductors, high-frequency switching is performed through controllable switches (MOSFETs, etc.) to store input electrical energy in capacitors (inductors). When the switch is turned off, the electrical energy is released back to the load, providing energy as a switching power supply. The ability of its output power or voltage is related to the duty cycle (the ratio of the switch conduction time to the entire switch period). Switchi
The subthreshold swing is a performance indicator that measures the rate of transition between the on and off states of a transistor. It represents the amount of change in gate voltage required for the source drain current to change tenfold, also known as the S factor. The smaller the S, the faster the on/off rate.
A diode has two terminals, anode and cathode, and current can only flow in a single direction. That is to say, current can flow from the anode to the cathode, but not from the cathode to the anode.
The drivers of these power transformers involve isolated gate MOSFETs
