Using a PN-junction diode for temperature measurement usually depends on its 2‑mV/K temperature coefficient. Conventionally, you must amplify and digitize this voltage with an ADC before you can use ...

Semiconductors exhibit different types of temperature coefficients. In order to valuable parameters such as resistance or forward voltage drop and the associated change in temperature, one must ...

With the increasing demand for improving system efficiencies, the development of the low loss, high current, high voltage, rugged power modules for high frequency power electronic applications is of ...

A merged-structure device combining pn junction and Schottky operating modes in one diode addresses design challenges in single-phase boost converters while reducing component and system costs.
