1. What is forward voltage drop?
Forward voltage drop refers to the voltage drop generated when the current passes through a diode when it is conducting. The forward voltage drop of silicon rectifier diodes is usually around 0.7V, while the forward voltage drop of Schottky diodes is usually lower, between 0.2V and 0.3V.
-
2. What is the maximum reverse voltage (PIV) of a rectifier diode?
The Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV) is the maximum reverse voltage that a diode can withstand. When selecting a diode, the PIV must be higher than the maximum reverse voltage in the circuit, usually twice or more the input voltage.
-
3. Can a single rectifier diode be used for high-frequency applications?
Traditional silicon rectifier diodes are not suitable for high-frequency applications because their reverse recovery time is relatively long. For high-frequency applications, fast recovery diodes or Schottky diodes are typically used to reduce switching losses and improve efficiency.

4. How to improve the efficiency of rectifier diodes?
The use of Schottky diodes or fast recovery diodes can reduce forward voltage drop and reverse recovery time, thereby improving the efficiency of rectifier circuits, especially in high-frequency applications.
