Called DZDH0401DW, it is designed to work with a p-channel mosfet in the high-side rail in systems up to 40V. It might better be described as a ‘nearly ideal diode controller’ as it draws some current ...

How to replace MOSFETs with load switches, and the impact of on-resistance. Swapping out diodes with ideal diodes, and the use of ideal-diode controllers. Why replacing fuses and resettable fuses with ...

Among passive electronic components, the fuse and diode are well known, well understood, widely used, and essential to many circuits and systems. Still, each has inherent shortcomings that make them ...

As the design engineer of Touchstone Semiconductor’s TS1001 – a 0.8V/0.6µA operational amplifier – I thought it a good idea to show some applications examples that may be less obvious and are really ...

Using a MOSFET as an ideal diode can provide robust and reliable safety protection for the emerging generation of autonomous appliances, as Shane Timmons explains. The growing popularity of cordless ...

What we really want is an ideal diode with zero voltage drop. Sadly, such a thing does not exist; however, there is a type of diode with a lower voltage drop — the Schottky diode. What we really want ...
