Many power management applications use Schottky diodes for the parallel operation of multiple power sources. This type of power redundancy is often found in systems with solid-state drives (SSDs), ...

Fig 1. In this typical redundant power system, three power supplies interface in parallel to the system load via internal ORing diodes. Fig 2. This HFE1600 series 19-in. rack-mount redundant power ...

A Schottky diode is an excellent way to connect multiple batteries or dc power supplies to a load. With a forward-biased “or” diode between each supply and the load, faults are isolated. Weak, low, or ...

Linear Technology’s LTC4352 is a 0V to 18V ideal diode controller that enables low loss ORing of multiple power sources with minimal disturbance to supply voltages. The LTC4352 regulates the forward ...

Decreased system reliability due to overloaded power supplies is a common engineering challenge. In this Q&A-style article submitted by Allied Electronic & Automation, David Norton, technical ...

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 ...

One of the most common parts and one of the earliest electronic devices is known to be a power diode. Its purpose is to limit the electric current’s ability to flow in one direction while obstructing ...

ABSOPULSE Electronics has recently released the PFC 319-D4 Series of IP66-rated AC-DC power supplies with active power factor correction (PFC). The units are designed for heavy-duty applications that ...
