This Design Idea illustrates a way to make use of MOSFETs’ parasitic body diodes in a power circuit that can be used in UPS and energy-recovery (e.g., regenerative braking) designs. The circuit can ...

Diode makes software to design printed circuit boards, which are used in most electronics. The startup raised $11.4 million in Series A funding led by A16z. Diode aims to work with robotics, medical ...

An alternative method for switching a load between battery and external charger uses less power than the usual diode-OR circuit. It requires a charger with Power OK (POK) feature. Most rechargeable ...

Diodes has introduced a pair of 80V ideal diode controllers to protect against reverse connections and voltage transients. Minimum operating voltage is 3.2V. “The controllers have all the features ...
