Kt Kingtronics How Does a Schottky Diode Function?

In 1938, German scientist Walter Schottky developed a diode having a metal to semiconductor junction.

A Schottky diode, like other solid-state diodes, conducts electrical current in one direction.

It can operate at higher speeds than typical silicon diodes.

Advantages

Small pockets of electric charge build up in a typical silicon diode, slowing down its ability to turn current off.

A Schottky diode can operate hundreds of times faster since it avoids build up of electric charges.

It also has less than half the voltage drop conducting in the forward direction than a silicon diode.

Applications

Engineers use Schottky diodes in very high-frequency circuits, such as microwave transmitters.

Schottky diodes also see use in switching power supplies and solar battery charging systems.

Kingtronics produce and sell schottky diode 1N5817-1N5819, 1N5820-1N5822. if you have inquiry, pls send email to anna@kingtronics.cn.

Kt Kingtronics How to Test Diodes: Silicon Diodes

Silicon diodes act as one-way valves for electrical current, allowing it to flow in only one direction. Like any electronic component,

diodes can fail from excessive voltage or current. Fortunately, diodes are simple to test, needing only a good multimeter to check them.

If you set the multimeter to read resistance and put the probes across the diode, you should read a low resistance one way and high resistance

with the probes reversed. A shorted diode will read low resistance both ways, and a blown diode will read high resistance both ways.

Instructions

1.Turn off the power to your circuit or equipment. Let the equipment sit for at least 30 minutes before removing the case or cover to allow the power supply to discharge。

2.Locate the diodes you want to test. They are typically small, two-lead parts with a stripe on the body to indicate the diode's cathode side.

3.Turn the multimeter on and turn the function knob so it points to the resistance setting. Hold the plastic body of the probes and are not touching the metal tips.

Touch the tip of the positive probe to one side of the diode and the negative probe to the other side. Read the resistance measurement and write it down.

Reverse the probes so they're touching the opposite sides of the diode. Write down the resistance you read . The higher resistance should be at least 10

times greater than the lower one. If it's less than five, the diode is very likely bad.

Kingtronics produce many types of diode rectifier,such as silicon diode, switching diodes, fast recovery diodes zener diodes.... Pls visit our updated website www.kingtronics.com for the details.

Kt Kingtronics Bridge Rectifier

A bridge rectifier makes use of four diodes in a bridge arrangement to achieve full-wave rectification.

This is a widely used configuration, both with individual diodes wired as shown and with single component bridges where the diode bridge is wired internally.

For both positive and negative swings of the transformer, there is a forward path through the diode bridge.

Both conduction paths cause current to flow in the same direction through the load resistor, accomplishing full-wave rectification.

One advantage of a bridge rectifier over a conventional full-wave rectifier is that with a given transformer the bridge rectifier produces a voltage output that is nearly twice that of the conventional full-wave circuit.
