A power diode is defined as adiodeused in power electronics circuits, capable of handling higher currents than regular diodes. It has two terminals and conducts current in one direction, with a construction designed for higher power applications. To understand power diodes better, let’s revisit h...
The Power Diode - Power Electronics Handbook (Second Edition) - 2ELSEVIERPower Electronics Handbook
The power diode is one of the most used components and one of the first devices to be discovered in electronics. Its functionality is to make the electric current pass only in one direction, inhibiting it in the opposite one. In many applications, it must allow the passage of an important ...
