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. What is the reverse recovery time of a rectifier diode?
Reverse recovery time refers to the time required for a diode to transition from a forward conducting state to a reverse blocking state. A shorter reverse recovery time is particularly important in high-frequency applications to reduce power loss.
-
4. How to identify the polarity of a single rectifier diode?
Rectifying diodes usually have polarity markings, with the positive (anode) of the diode being "+" and the negative (cathode) being "-". On the packaging of diodes, there is usually a circular mark on the cathode side indicating the direction of the diode.
